"Emerald Guardian" features a black rhino embedded into the shape of the African continent, emphasising the deep connection between this majestic creature and its homeland, particularly Southern Africa.
Skilfully created by Simon Shone, the rhino stands as a symbol of strength and resilience. The map of Africa, creatively woven by Martin Osner, is rendered in earthy emerald green tones, representing the continent's rich natural heritage and diverse cultures.

The earthy emerald green palette evokes a sense of natural harmony, reflecting the preciousness of Africa's landscapes and the vibrant cultures that span its vast expanse.
The woven tapestry technique underscores the interconnectedness of life and cultures throughout Africa, celebrating the unity and diversity of the continent.
This artwork highlights the urgent need to intensify conservation efforts, focusing on protecting the black rhino from the growing threat of poaching. It serves as a powerful call to action to safeguard this magnificent animal for future generations, preserving both the species and the natural beauty of Africa's wildlife heritage.
It belongs to African Art Fusion, the collaboration between sculptor Simon Shone and Martin Osner, bringing sculpture together with painting and photography.

How is the print made?
On archival pigment inks and heavyweight fine art paper, with a white border that carries the signature. Printed to order and checked by the artist before it is signed.
Is it signed and numbered?
Every print is signed by the artist. Limited editions are also numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity. Open edition prints are signed, not numbered.
How long does delivery take?
Usually 7 to 10 days from order to your door. Your print is made within 48 hours, carefully packed, then sent door to door by air freight, tracked all the way. Some parts of the world are a little quicker, a few a little slower.
Can I have it framed?

What currency will I pay in?
Prices are charged in US dollars. Beneath each price you see an estimate in your own currency, worked out from the dollar price at today's rate. Buyers in South Africa can pay in rand by bank transfer at checkout.
Will I pay VAT or import tax?
No VAT or tax is added to your price. We are not a VAT vendor, so there is nothing to claim back either. Depending on where you live, your country may charge import duty or tax when the work arrives. That is set by your country's customs rules and is out of our hands, so if you are unsure, your local customs office can tell you what to expect.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery, in the condition it arrived in and in its original packaging, with return shipping at your cost. If it arrives damaged, or it is the wrong work, we replace it or refund you at our cost. See the returns policy.
