Marble Resine with Blue patina
limited edition of 12
Size (Metric) 35 cm long x 25 cm high
suitable for indoor only
The Citadel is a contemporary sculptural interpretation of the rhinoceros, distilled into a powerful architectural form. Built from faceted, geometric planes, the sculpture emphasises mass, stability, and containment rather than naturalistic detail. Each angled surface catches light differently, giving the work a shifting presence despite its grounded stance.
The elongated horn rises sharply like a spire, becoming both focal point and symbol — not of aggression, but of endurance and defence. The body reads as a fortified structure, compact and immovable, evoking the solidity of a monument or stronghold. Short, block-like legs further anchor the form, reinforcing a sense of weight and permanence.
Rendered in an intense, saturated blue, The Citadel departs deliberately from realism. The colour elevates the sculpture into the contemporary realm, allowing form and silhouette to dominate while lending the work a quiet authority and modern edge.
Rather than depicting the animal in motion, The Citadel presents the rhinoceros as an emblem of resilience — a sculptural bastion that speaks to strength, protection, and architectural presence.
