About the artwork

The story of the endangered rhino is not uncommon amongst people today. The threat brought by poaching and the illegal horn trade is real and constantly rising as the market increases. Gillie and Marc pressures the international community, enforcing the urgency that the rhinos will go extinct if no action is taken. The rhino rope series aims to raise this awareness, resonating deeply with the crisis that people carelessly ignore. The rhinos are hanging onto thin rope, literally presented in Gillie and Marc’s series in a paradoxical way.



About the artist

Husband and wife, Marc and Gillie Schattner are Australian contemporary artists who collaborate to create art as one, applying the iconic imagery of the dog or human hybrid to celebrate the powerful spiritual relationship that exists between man and animal. Gillie and Marc reference their own remarkable love story in their works, perpetuating a pursuit of happiness and encouraging us to challenge the status quo and perceived safety of societal convention. Gillie and Marc's unparalleled love is the cornerstone of what they are and what they create. Meeting in Hong Kong, she was a nurse from England and he, a boy from the suburbs of Melbourne. Wanting only to find a soul-mate with whom to share their passions for art, travel and adventure, they were married at the foothills of Mount Everest seven years later. With a 20 year history of collaboration, Gillie and Marc's works (paintings and sculptures) have received worldwide acclaim and are held in collections both nationally and internationally.
