This painting was commissioned by a wildlife photographer and activist who wanted a piece that addressed issues of human-induced extinction among wild rhino populations.
As with all my commissions, ongoing engagement with the collector is essential to ensure that we are able to arrive at a striking composition that they're completely satisfied with, but one which is also consistent with my wider body of work.
The reference photo this painting was based on was one of dozens which were taken by the collector and were provided specifically for the creation of this piece.
As it was a commissioned work, it is not available for purchase. It has been listed as a guide to prospective art collectors who may wish to order a personalised piece for themselves.
