Artists Statement:
Every day should be started with a coffee and a kiss, especially if you have the travel bug like Rabbitwoman and Dogman. Jumping on their bike and heading to the open road, these two need to be well energised and light of heart before they set off for their next adventure. They also show the beauty of their relationship, a relationship filled with love and importantly, equality, as Rabbitwoman pushes aside the traditional gender roles and takes the handlebars. Dogman clearly doesn’t mind one bit as he nuzzles his muzzle into her neck for a quick kiss.
"The world depends on contemporary artists to challenge life as we know it. We, the contemporary artist, pull apart the world, so it can be put back together as something different."
As husband and wife, Gillie and Marc, are Australian contemporary artists who collaborate to create art as one, applying the iconic imagery of the dog/human hybrid to celebrate the powerful spiritual relationship that exists between man and animal.
Gillie and Marc reference their own remarkable love story in their works, perpetuating a pursuit of happiness and encouraging us to challenge the status quo and the perceived safety of societal convention. Gillie and Marc’s unparalleled love is the cornerstone of what they are and of what they create.
Gillie and Marc first met in Hong Kong. She was a nurse from England and he was a boy from the ‘burbs’ of Melbourne. Instantly they realised they’d found their soulmate, someone to start a journey encompassing their mutual love for art and adventure. Seven days later they were married in the foothills of Mount Everest. They not only share an unsurpassed dedication to their art but also love for their two children, whom Gillie describes as their ‘best friends’ — along with their fur baby Indie, of course.
With a 20 year history of collaboration, Gillie and Marc’s works (paintings and sculptures) have received acclaim worldwide and are held in collections both nationally and internationally.
As a Gillie and Marc premier gallery, Curate not only exhibits a vast array of Gillie and Marc bronze sculptures and original paintings but we also have access to much, much more.
