"Elephants, giraffe, lions, and ghosts...what more could your walls need!" - Tom Frost 

Tom Frost is a talented man, working on the whimsical style of a traveling circus, from the circus to the stalls where attractions are held at. The colours are simplistic and the style is blocky, having a more cartoony style. While the colours may be more muted, it shows a clear palette which can be played in several ways, showing nothing has to look the same, even when not everything is a different colour. All the faces in this piece have different expressions, and the carts have unique designs. The piece also has a good line of vision, leading your eye from the big tent at the top, all the way down, from the cars and trucks, to the different carts and trailers that follow behind. 

A big tent, wild animals, and performers? What more could you ask for from a circus? When it comes to the circus, it is all about the show you bring to people! I chose this piece for the theme of a circus art gallery because of the youthful nature of the style and the individuals drawings, making it a whole fun circus.
