Description 
Amid the towering skyline of New York City, a vibrant rhino perches calmly on top of a yellow cab, unfazed by the hustle and chaos below. With the iconic Empire State Building rising in the background and streaks of colour illuminating the urban grid, this whimsical scene reminds us that even the wildest souls can find their place in the city. The rhino — often a symbol of power and protection — becomes a peaceful passenger in a concrete jungle. It’s humorous, surreal, and yet deeply hopeful. Maybe it’s telling us that there's room for nature, calm, and kindness in even the busiest corners of modern life. This artwork is a joyful collision of worlds — the natural and the urban, the wild and the orderly — and it's all held together by colour, creativity, and a wild imagination.

Artwork Features
The purest example of the artist’s freehand work, Gillie and Marc’s ‘Contemporary Line & Stencil Paintings’ are a stunning series that pairs unashamedly bold colors with deep black line work to form intimate moments featuring their signature alter egos, endangered wildlife and more. The carefully selected vivid colors and unmistakable imagery means no two pieces are alike and can have multiple meanings the more they are viewed. Gillie and Marc paint each unique canvas side-by-side ensuring love is engrained in every brushstroke of each one-of-a-kind work of art. Recently inspired by the pop style of Andy Warhol and the iconic stencils of street artists Banksy and Mr. Brainwash, Gillie and Marc expanded their collection with the edgy addition of using spray paint stencils on their canvases. The stark contrast of bright colors beneath a dark stencil breathes life into this limited series, embodying Gillie and Marc’s philosophy of the importance of accessible art by playfully bringing the street to the canvas.


Please note: All canvases come stretched and ready to hang, however if you would like your painting to be framed, Gillie and Marc are happy to provide this service for you at your request. For framing enquiries please email us. 

Care Instructions
It is important to keep your painting out of direct sunlight and not to lean anything against the surface of the canvas. If it gets dusty, it can be cleaned with a soft dry cloth.
