Description

Artists: Gillie & Marc

Materials: Bronze

Artist Bio:

Gillie and Marc are passionate about creating sculptures that bring life, character, and meaning into a space. Each work is designed to be lived with — transforming its surroundings while telling a story of love, connection, and conservation.

Every sculpture carries a part of the artists’ world, whether it reflects their deep connection to endangered wildlife or the enduring love story of their iconic characters, Rabbitwoman and Dogman. Through their work, they invite you to bring that story into your own life.

Working across a range of materials including bronze, resin, fibreglass, stainless steel, aluminium, and chrome, Gillie and Marc carefully select each medium for its unique qualities — allowing every idea to be expressed in its most powerful form.

Artist Description:

Gillie and Marc's 'Crab Riders' sculpture continues the artists' passionate exploration of environmental issues. Crabs might not be the most popular, pretty or cute creatures in the animal kingdom but Gillie and Marc believe that crabs are more symbolic than ever, in a world facing incredible environmental challenges. Crabs are resilient and strong, thanks to their thick exoskeleton.
