Rhinocipede (2020) Skulptur von Erno Toth

When I was sitting in the garden one day after the rain, I saw a bunch of crawling snails. They crawled slowly and carried their houses on their backs. Nature designed it perfectly for snails. So the idea came to me, what would a rhinoceros look like, carrying its dwelling on its back. Unlike nature, I'm not perfect and I haven't come up with anything better than making a car on a rhino's back. And I came up with the name Rhinocipede.


Important information:
Even if I state that there are 3-5 copies of a specific sculpture, each of them is actually an original. The technique of my work is atypical and I have to model every single piece of the same sculpture again and create a mold into which the bronze is then poured. Despite over 40 years of experience, even I cannot model any of the other variations of the same motif completely identically. There are minor differences between them, even though in principle it is the same work.
Sometimes it can happen that the work shown in the photo has already been sold in the meantime, and in the case of another order, I have to model this motif again from the beginning and have it cast into a new form. In this case, the time for sending the work is around 3 weeks, and it must be taken into account that this sculpture will differ in a few small details from the depicted work.
But the advantage is that, for the above reasons, the purchased work is unique, and a completely identical work can simply never exist.
