Marilyn Rabbitgirl poses for Paparazzi Dog at Salamanca Place, the cultural and creative heartbeat of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Salmanca Place is situated in Sullivan's Cove adjacent to the waterfront and close to the bustling center of the city of Hobart.
These very impressive bronze statues take pride of place in the cobblestone square where locals and visitors gather to wine, dine and relax al fresco or in the many cafes and restaurants which encircle these statues.
Marilyn Rabbitgirl and Paparazzi Dog are the work of Gillie and Marc, a husband and wife team who create in harmony to produce fine, contemporary works such as this. An extremely talented couple; Gillie and Marc have used inspired imagery to draw on and incorporated the powerful connection between man and animal to produce many amazing dog/human hybrid creations.
Their own unique and compelling love story is the basis for these unique works of art. They think outside the box, and in doing so, stimulate art lovers to challenge the status quo; to stretch their imagination and feel to that spiritual connection between man and animal.
The boy from Melbourne and the girl from England first met in Hong Kong. The attraction was instananeous as was their sense of destiny. They both possessed adventurous spirits and both shared a love for art and seven days after they met, they were married in the foothills of Mount Everest. How romantic is that?
Gillie and Marc's paintings and sculptures have received worldwide acclaim and their brand is now recognized nationally and internationally. This is the result of their remarkable and harmonious collaboration.
