What is the title of the sculpture?

Love Negotiation

Is it an original?

YES! This is the only one like it in the whole world and it is 1/1

How many more are there like this around the world?

NONE!!

What was the inspiration behind the piece?

Meet the awe-inspiring hybrid characters named Dogman and Rabbitgirl. These unique characters have arrived to promote, love, and acceptance. As unlikely animal-kingdom companions, together they symbolize unity and acceptance – representing all people as one.

Now more than ever is the time for people of all races, religions and beliefs to come together. Rabbitgirl and Dogman invite the world to sit with them symbolically at their Table and take the first step to understanding and loving each other. The sculpture is where we sit, discuss, and solve problems. The world has reached a crisis where our differences are causing hatred and division.

The installation of these bronze sculptures is the first step in a massive, global campaign by Gillie and Marc that aims to promote love and peace across the globe. Major cities around the world, Including London, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Paris have all expressed interested in hosting this duo. However, the artists choose to launch this sculpture in Canada!

Can I commission one just like it? With the same characters?

OF COURSE!! But, because the one at Sokoloff Lawyers is a one of a kind , they would have to create a slightly different one. Please contact Gillie and Marc for pricing details.

The piece says 1/1 on it, what does that mean?

There is only one in the whole world!

What is it made of? Will it last in our harsh Canadian winter?

Gillie and Marc love working in bronze for many reasons. Bronze is a very hardy material and will last forever. The material has been used for millennia, with some 2500 year-old artworks still in existence today. Bronze is also a non-polluting and very sustainable material to use. It is an alloy made primarily from two chemical elements found naturally in the environment – copper and tin. These two natural elements are mined from ore and are found in many day to day items such as wiring and plumbing. Copper is also 100% recyclable, with around 40% of the world’s supply coming from recycled products. Silicon bronze contains no lead or any other elements that are harmful to either humans or the environment. Finally, bronze is very easy to clean, allowing you to enjoy your precious sculpture with minimal upkeep.

The bronze is coloured in some areas?

As experts in coloring bronze, Gillie and Marc enjoy experimenting with their sculptures, adding a splash of color to brighten the work, making it even more unique. This technique is very difficult and is rarely practiced, making these Gillie and Marc sculptures even more precious.
