The Rhinoceros - Word Mosaic Art Print

Word Mosaic Art Print by Curtis Epperson

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

Built like a fortress. The words tell a gentler story too.

A rhinoceros makes an enormous first impression.

Heavy. Mighty. Powerful. Tough. Strong.

But Curtis’s word list does not stop at the armor.

Calm. Gentle. Humble. Loyal. Noble. Patient. Peaceful. Wise.

Then come the phrases that make the animal feel almost ancient enough to belong to the land itself:

Ancient Wanderer.

Guardian Of The Grasslands.

Keeper Of The Plains.

Prehistoric.

Curtis spent 16 hours drawing 64 different words and phrases into this Rhinoceros.

From across the room, you see the strength.

Up close, the giant becomes quieter.

INSIDE THE ARTWORK

The softer words changed this animal for me.

Lettering detail from Rhinoceros.

The Rhinoceros gave me plenty of words about strength.

Heavy. Mighty. Powerful. Strong. Tough.

But I also had Calm, Gentle, Humble, Loyal, Noble, Patient, Peaceful and Wise.

Then there were Ancient Wanderer, Guardian Of The Grasslands and Keeper Of The Plains.

I used 64 different words and phrases and spent 16 hours drawing them into the finished rhino.

I like that the first look can feel massive and powerful.

Then the closer look reveals words that are much quieter.
