Description
Elephant parade Rocky Park 15 cm
Elephant name: Rocky Park 15 cm
Artist: Nipon Kaewkumdee
Inspiration: My elephant is inspired by Phae Mueang Phi Park (just
outside Chiang Mai) which is my favourite place to visit during
the weekend. I like going for walks there and love the rocky
mushroom like formations.
Elephant parade events
Elephant Parade is a social enterprise and runs the world’s largest art exhibition of decorated elephant statues. Created by artists and celebrities,
each Elephant Parade statue is a unique art piece. The life-size, baby elephant statues are exhibited in international cities and raise awareness for
the need of elephant conservation. Limited edition, handcrafted replicas and a select range of products are created from the exhibition elephants.
20% of Elephant Parade net profits are donated to elephant welfare and conservation projects.
History
The event was created in 2006 by Marc Spits and his son Mike. It was inspired by Marc Spits’ visit (while logging in Myanmar) to the elephant hospital in Thailand, which constructs prosthetic legs for elephants that encounter landmines. There he saw Mosha, a baby elephant who lost her foot when only seven months old.
