Mauro Perucchetti | Tusk Rhino Trail

September 19, 2018

The Tusk Rhino Trail is a London installation that celebrates the rhino's magnificence, and draws attention to severe poaching which threatens their survival. Each rhino has been designed by important contemporary artists including Marc Quinn, Patrick Hughes and Mauro Perucchetti. A map of the locations can be found HERE

 "In a world where so much effort and money goes in to creating custom made fashion pets and accessories we have perhaps become too remote from the treasures of real nature and should consider all wild life with the same love and respect that we reserve for our pets; hence the symbolism of the custom markings and veterinary care." --Mauro Perucchetti

Benefit Auction:

 

Each individually designed and painted rhino sculpture will be sold – along with donated works of art by Tracey Emin, David Shrigley and Julian Opie – to raise vital funds to support Tusk’s ongoing conservation programmes across Africa. Bid HERE.
