Gorilla Sunset
A digital sculpture of a forest relative
It is sad to reflect on, but the sun may well be setting on African Gorillas in the wild. Can the few hold back the many? Lets hope so. As artists we do our bit to visually highlight the issue and that is fantastic – keep it up supporters of primates.
Gorilla Sunset belongs to the following groups:
African Art and Photography, Exotic Mammals, Primate Art and Zoophoria (2 per day, approval required) Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

It’s fascinating, Tom. I didn’t see the image straight away, instead only seeing the abstract. Then he just jumps out at you. Really like it although somehow quite sad.
Tom Godfrey replied
Thanks Anne -yeh it is quite sad, but then so are their lives I guess. I imagine him/her dreaming of wild and free open spaces.
