About “Not a Target”

Julien Masson of Artsim was keen to design something that was clean fun and good to look at but mindful of the plight of rhinos in the wild. He chose the distinct patterns used for target practice and covered the rhino with them. “I like the idea of attracting but also repelling the beholder and hope it’s understood that I’m not trying to make a simple joke and that there is a serious subject matter behind this piece”.

‘Augustus, was designed and painted by four of our very talented art students. Maddy Carter, Lauren Cron, Becky Feltham and Sophie Milner, all 18, and all studying art courses at the college, entered a competition to design the rhino.’

for this shot I converted to Black and white I then used Apertures “Brush away Black and White” function. It works just like History Brush in PS.

About “Flossy”:

With such big teeth it must be problematic getting a toothache when you’re a rhino. Just as well there’s a dental nurse in town!

About ‘Beatrix’:

Stewart is well known amongst his peers for being fanatical about colour so came up with a design that tapped into this obsession. Stewart thought that the best way to provide the greatest colour range was through the use of a spectrum, applying a grid to the rhino and then each division could be a unique shade to create a mosaic style effect.

About “Rafiki”:

Sam Pierpoint was commissioned to create a design based on many of the iconic shows that have visited The Mayflower over the past 25 years. The theatre wanted their design to not only be thought provoking and reflect what they are about but also to inspire adults and children alike to engage and have fun with it! So how many shows can you spot on “Rafiki”?
