Art and the RhinocerosMay, 2017Art and the Rhinoceros, First Edition, 2017, by Lorraine and Robert Fildes. Published as an ebook on Amazon This book shows the rhino in art - masterpieces from the ancient past to the present. There are over 300 rhino images in this book. The rhino images include drawings, paintings, etchings, rock carvings and sculptures done in a variety of materials. These images of the rhino range from early civilisations such as in China, Roman Empire, Indus civilisation in Pakistan/India area and from Southern Africa down to current day images of paintings and sculptures produced by modern day artists. Whether in the ancient past or in the present the rhinos are always represented as huge, powerful and solitary animals. Drawings, woodcuts, etchings, paintings and sculptures of the rhino all depict the power of the animal. The text indicates where you may find these rhino images. For the artists of our time their websites have been given. There are very few of these magnificent wild animals left in the world, so unless they are protected and managed, artistic images will soon be the only viewing option. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to saving the rhino from extinction. + Read more |

Colour in Your LifeMar, 2015Invitation from CEO Graeme Stevenson to appear in the television series put some 'Colour In Your Life' Graeme contacted me and asked me if I was willing to recreate my painting, 'Tears of the rhino' for the television program 'Colour In Your Life'. He felt the painting has such a powerful message and would be of interest to viewers. I was delighted as this gave me a platform to talk about wildlife crime and the devastating effect it has on many endangered species. 'Tears of the rhino' is currently the face of a global poster awareness campaign for endangered species which was launched in London, UK. By recreating the painting the program gave it an extra voice. The poster has been signed by Sir David Attenborough, Dr Jane Goodall, Ricky Gervaise and Noam Chomsky among many others. The program can be viewed on utube by following the link supplied. Please feel free to leave a comment as feed back is appreciated. + Read more |
