Tusk Rhino Trail (9) - 20 September 2018
A.D.'s Rhino painted by Adam Dant
Tusk Rhino Trail # 21 - Royal Exchange.
Interestingly, this interpretation is based on an Albrecht Dürer print of 1515. As the artist (Dant) comments, "I think it is poignant to display the animal in such form, according to how it was first depicted by an artist as a rarity, due to our lack of knowledge of and encounters with the rhino, as opposed to it being depicted as a rarity because we’ve killed them all.” This being the last picture in my series, I will leave you with that thought.
Tusk Rhino Trail London - August and September 2018. A London wide art installation for the charity Tusk ending on World Rhino Day, 22 September 2018.
