This is my last look at the "Taronga Wild! Rhinos" public art exhibition which was located around the city from February to April. "Chupa Chups" was created by Rain Hart, inspired by a a strong tribal feel. It was located in Queen's Square, in front of the Hyde Park Barracks Museum, near St Mary's Cathedral. All the rhinos will be on display at The Star casino in Pyrmont from 10th May and will be auctioned off on 14th May to raise funds for Taronga Zoo’s Black Rhino breeding program and conservation projects.
It was fun coming across the rhinos when I was over Jim.. most of them I recognized from your blog :)
ReplyDeletePainted sculptures are so much fun in public places. Why should they all be gray statues ?
ReplyDeleteThey certainly were fun and better than grey.
DeleteWonder how much 'Rhino Survival' will go for? Have loved looking at your pics, thanks, Jim.
ReplyDeletethat red really pops!
ReplyDeleteHello Jim,
ReplyDeleteI'll miss seeing these colorful rhino statutes with the touch of blue. Thanks for playing today.

ReplyDeleteI thought this had a flower power look to it. Great series, Jim. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture looks friendly--unlike the real, wild rhino!
