RISE UP RHINO
BY ARTISTS GILLIE AND MARC

#LoveTheLast #RiseUpRhino

’Rise Up Rhino’ made from bronze features a full-size male white rhino who can weigh up to 4 tonnes in real life, the equivalent of 50 humans. Demonstrating what must be done is Rabbitwoman and Dogman, the artists most iconic characters that have travelled the world spreading messages of hope, acceptance, and love. They invite the public to sit in the free spaces on either side of them to join in their mission to rise up the rhino and become rhino protectors. There are only 2 Northern White Rhinos left in the world. We must all work together if we are to save them from extinction. This is part of the broader ’Love The Last’ project, a social movement driven by public art to raise awareness, funds and support for endangered animals across the world, encouraging people to take action before we lose these animals forever.

’Rise Up Rhino’ serves as a beacon for a brighter future.

One of the series of sculptures made by the artist couple Gillie and Marc, sculptures that show wild animals in urban situations. When the purpose of the sculptures is to take care of the protection of wild animals and prevent their extinction.

In the current statue, which aims to preserve the rhinoceros and in particular the northern white rhinoceros (of which there are only 2 females left in the world), held up by the two familiar figures of the sculptures: Rabbitwoman and Dogman.
