Death Jumbo 

Sue Coe's "Death Jumbo" is a powerful and unsettling painting that depicts the tragic death of an elephant in a circus train accident. The artwork's dark and gritty aesthetic reflects the harsh realities of animal exploitation, with the elephant’s crushed body positioned as the central focus. The train car emblazoned with P.T. Barnum's name serves as a potent reminder of the circus's history of exploiting animals for profit. Coe's work often explores themes of animal rights and social justice, prompting viewers to confront the darker aspects of human behavior and the exploitation of animals.
