Edition of 50 on Arches 88 paper - signed, numbered and dated in pencil // I Have an Elephant by John Baldessari is a limited edition screen-print featuring a realistic rendering of two large peanuts in their shells, suspended against a white background. Below this detailed and lifelike depiction, the words “Xmas Cake” are printed in a minimalist sans-serif font, creating a humorous disconnect between image and text. Baldessari’s conceptual approach plays with the viewer's expectations, merging everyday objects with incongruous labels. By titling the piece with an enigmatic phrase, he further challenges conventional associations, encouraging a playful reconsideration of meaning in both language and imagery. Created in 2017, this work exemplifies Baldessari's distinctive use of irony and visual wit.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
