International artist Li-Jen Shih, author of King Kong Rhino – contemporary tribute to Albrecht Dürer’ rhino, has been a guest of pba’s

King Kong Rhino, a symbol of power and justice, is made of stainless steel in order to reflect the daily changes in the sky and its own environment. For his masterpiece, the artist Li-Jen Shih wanted to transform the rhino, a majestic creature symbol of luck and kindness in Chinese culture for centuries, into a contemporary art piece, a heroic and modern icon of the “true survivor”.

«The rhino has always been a creature close to me. It was with great pain that I followed its uncertain situation in the world and for this reason I decided to create an artwork celebrating its beauty and raising awareness about the risks of extinction for the rhinos – stated Li-Jen Shih –. On a spiritual level, my sculpture embodies many of the philosophies rooted in ancient Chinese culture, whereas for style and expression, it is contemporary».

The rhino stainless steel sculpture, with its armor, releases a strong feeling of endurance. A human finger print is embedded in the horn to represent the predatory action of man and it is a reminder of how important it is to respect all animal species on Earth. King Kong Rhino was selected to represent the annual theme at the Shanghai Art Fair in 2011 and was placed in the Kelti International Co square in Taipei.

Li-Jen Shih was born in Changhua County, Taiwan, in 1955 and started his career in China and Taiwan. He got interested in the rhino and its powerful symbolism by working on several series of sculpture including the most famous and representative of his artwork: King Kong Rhino. Li-Jen Shih is very connected to tradition, he uses a contemporary language to unveil an ancient subject of this tradition. His rhino sculptures find their place in the centers of the most important cities in China, Taipei, Taichung and in the south of Taiwan, Beijing, Shanghai and in Shandong. Everyone, including children, love so much to gather around Li-Jen Shih rhinos that they give him the nickname of The Rhino Papa, the rhino artist.

Albrecht Dürer. The complete Remondini Collection an exhibition curated by Chiara Casarin, offers for the first time a comprehensive view of the famous Nuremberg artist’s graphic treasure available in the museum collections in Bassano. The collection includes 123 woodcuts and 91 chalcography that became part of the city heritage in 1849 following their donation by Giambattista Remondini.

In the frame of Palazzo Sturm, the city of Bassano del Grappa is creating the most important exhibition on this conspicuous corpus of the historical-artistic heritage never realized in full. After the completion of the restoration, the building turned out to be the ideal space for the display of Dürer’s graphic works since it houses the Remondini Print Museum. The museum is enriched by a new, specially designed set-up that includes the creations of entrepreneurs, printers and careful art collectors from Bassano.
