This gorgeous sculpture celebrates the lives of Sudan, Najin and Fatu – the last three Northern White Rhinos. It’s modelled after Gillie and Marc’s iconic The Last Three installed in the heart of New York City, and their wildly popular bronze maquette titled, The Last Three on Earth. This sculpture addresses serious themes, while acknowledging that even in the bleakest situations hope can be found. The three rhinos are stacked on top of each other to represent the fragility of the species, and delicate balance it takes to keep rhinos alive. At the same time, Gillie and Marc have created them in bright and joyous colours. They did this to acknowledge the inspiring strides that have recently been made for rhino conservation. The fact is that, even though there is a battle to be won for endangered species, there are millions of people around the world who are willing to fight against poaching. This sculpture is one facet that’s giving a voice to the voiceless, in a beautiful and unique way that will add an interesting dimension of beauty, hope and colour to any home.

Gillie and Marc have been called “the most successful and prolific creators of public art in New York’s History” by the New York Times. Creating some of the world’s most innovative public sculptures, Gillie and Marc are re-defining what public art should be, spreading messages of love, equality, and conservation around the world. Their highly coveted sculptures and paintings can be seen in art galleries and public sites in over 250 cities. They’re Archibald Prize Finalists and have won the Chianciano Biennale in Italy, together with winning 2 years in a row People’s Choice Award in Sydney’s Sculpture by the Sea, among other notable awards and accolades. Referred to by the media as “the world’s most loving artists”, this artistic duo has worked side by side for 27 years, creating art as one and spreading the love they have for each other with the world. The artists first met on a film shoot in Hong Kong and 7-days later they ran away to Nepal to get married on the foothills of Mount Everest. They’ve been inseparable ever since. The artists are best known for their beloved characters, Rabbitwoman and Dogman, who tell the autobiographical tale of two opposites coming together to become best friends and soul mates. As unlikely animal kingdom companions, the Rabbit and the Dog stand for diversity and acceptance through love. Gillie and Marc believe art is a powerful platform for change. Their art is multi-disciplinary, paying homage to the importance of togetherness, as well as the magnificence of the natural world, and the necessity of preserving it – for we are it, and it is us. Gillie and Marc have a special spiritual connection to the world and its animals and are passionate eco-warriors. Gillie grew up in Zambia and realised her love for art by sketching all the wonderful wildlife that surrounded her, falling in love with the captivating creatures with each drawing she created. Tragically, she saw an elephant brutally shot one day. This had a profound impact on her as a young child and from then on she vowed to dedicate her life and work to protecting Earth’s innocent animals. While in his twenties, Marc fell in love with conservation on a trip to Tanzania to see the work of Jane Goodall with chimpanzees. Learning from this incredible woman and the beautiful chimps, he gained a deep appreciation of all living things in their interconnectivity, and the importance of protecting the delicate balance of nature.
