Big5 Wildlife Series

This is part of a series of Modern Abstract Expressionistic pieces showcasing the African Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Cape Buffalo. Each animal is a trilogy set, hence in the total series, we have 15 pieces. The titles are statements about their characters, like their memory, non forgiveness, brute strength and also a show of their rage with mankind for ruthlessly hunting them. Here’s an example, most people are aware of, that of an Elephants remarkable memory, but few know about the Cape Buffalo, also known as Black Death, this animal can be extremely dangerous, and is said to have killed more big game hunters than any other animal in Africa. An impressive creature, these adults can weigh in about 600kg and have few predators, they are capable of defending themselves against (and killing) lions. So here I capture nature via the use of mixed media and then layering them to produce a flattened digital art piece (Maree-ism) It’s a narrative of our complex and diverse world, hence we should respect and appreciate our wildlife and find balance with nature. In this Limited Special Edition, only 300 will be printed and it will we signed and numbered.
