Description
"A Study for the Hippo Riders" is a limited-edition canvas print rendered in pencil and charcoal, offering a raw, intimate glimpse into the creative process behind Gillie and Marc’s iconic bronze sculpture of Rabbitwoman and Dogman riding a hippo. This piece symbolizes the harmony between diverse beings, both real and imagined, as Rabbitwoman and Dogman—symbolic of the artists themselves—navigate the powerful yet peaceful hippo. The hippo, often seen as both gentle and fierce, represents nature’s strength, while the riders embody the human-animal connection and the quest for balance and unity with the natural world. The use of pencil and charcoal lends the piece an unfinished, exploratory quality, reflecting the artists' journey in capturing the essence of coexistence and mutual trust between species.
