Wild! Rhinos

'Albrecht Dürer, the famous German artist, made a wonderful woodcut of a rhinoceros in 1515.  Now, almost 500 years later, I'm honoured to have the opportunity to paint a life-sized model of a rhino to help, with many other people, raise awareness of the plight of this mighty animal.'

Ken was recently asked to paint a life-size Black Rhino sculpture live in the gallery to help support Taronga Zoo save wild rhinoceros.
The rhino he painted, 'Al' (after German artist Albrecht Durer), is part of the Zoo’s community art project Taronga Wild! Rhinos, which will see 55 Rhinoceros installed across Sydney in May 2014. Watch Ken's interview and the painting in action here.
