Original bronze sculpture by Ailene Fields · Animal study · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide
Fields keeps the rhino solid and low to the ground, its bulk carried in a compact 6.5 by 3.5 by 3 inch form. The surface texture suggests thick hide without turning cartoonish, and the animal's stance reads as watchful rather than aggressive.
There is a prehistoric quality to how Fields has simplified the anatomy here, the kind of form that could belong to a much older sculptural tradition, which suits an animal that has looked roughly the same for millions of years.

"My aim, sculpturally, has always been to bring softness out of apparent hardness."
Ailene Fields
About the Artist
Ailene Fields is an American sculptor working in bronze, stone, and acrylic, known for figures that draw on mythology, fairy tales, and the natural world. Born in Brooklyn, she earned a degree in English Literature and Greek Mythology from Lehman College before training as a self-taught potter.
She went on to study the human figure under master sculptor Bruno Lucchesi at the New School for Social Research in New York, where she developed the technical foundation behind her animal and figurative bronzes. She is a co-founder of the Skylands Museum of Art in Lafayette, New Jersey, and co-owner of The Compleat Sculptor in New York City.
Her work has been shown in solo museum exhibitions at the Bergen Museum of Art and Science and the Appleton Museum of Art, and is held in private collections across the country. Fields continues to teach stone carving, passing on the discipline behind her own decades of practice.
