"Rhino" by Hovik Muradian offers a striking modernist vision of this powerful creature through bold bronze tones and dynamic brushwork. Created in Czechia during the 1980s, the painting captures the rhino's raw strength through thick, sculptural paint application, while unexpected touches of pink, blue, and vibrant green transform the traditional wildlife subject into a contemporary statement piece.

About Rhino by Hovik Muradian

This oil on canvas measures 12 by 12 inches and was acquired in Prague, demonstrating the vibrant Czech art scene of the period. The artist's modern abstract approach uses whimsical colors and expressive brushwork to convey both the simplicity and brutal strength of the subject. The dramatic composition balances earthy bronze tones with bold color accents, creating an engaging presence that pairs effectively with the artist's complementary elephant painting.
