Bronze Sculptures – Seven Samurais riding Rhinos2021

The ultimate ride of the Christians Samurais riding their rhinoceroses. Historical work by the sculptor Mariko about the troubled period of the 17th. Century where the Christians were persecuted in Japan. This period of time inspired the director of the movie “Scorsese” for his last silent production. The artist Mariko grew up in Africa, where she discovered the sandstone at an early age. Studying at “Les Beaux-Arts” in France, Mariko was marked by the Cubist movement, in particular the transformation of volumes and shapes. The artist seeks balance and harmony to enlighten the vital strengths. Pedestal: 120 cm
