    Product description

    Alex Sibanda and Slindi Mchunu lean toward abstraction in this artwork depicting a multi-horned and armour-plated rhino. The natural folds of the rhino’s skin in this version are exaggerated to suggest a suit of armour, echoing Albrecht Dürer’s iconic depiction of a rhino in his 1515 print. Dürer’s rhino also features prominent armour plates adorned with a range of spots and scales. 

    Sibanda and Mchunu’s rhino features two extra horns, and a depiction of barbed wire within the painted designs, speaking simultaneously of efforts to keep threat away from the rhino and the need to contain the rhino in protected wild spaces.

    Made by Alex Sibanda and painted by Slindile Mchunu
