“Branded” combines the form of a white rhinoceros with the faded iconography of the American flag, transforming the animal into a commentary on political labeling and threatened identities. The painted word on its flank — “RINO” — complicates the creature’s vulnerability by tying it to contemporary rhetoric that brands people and groups with mileading terms and throttles discourse. The work explores the intersection of extinction, belonging, and the language of exclusion, using the rhino as a vehicle to question this practice.
Printed at 2400 x 1200 dpi with archival 12-color pigment inks on acid and lignin-free mold-made copperplate paper, these prints offer exceptional longevity (200+ years) and tonal fidelity. Unlike dye-based prints, the pigment ink rests on the textured paper surface, producing a visual depth and tactile quality comparable to traditional etchings or lithographs.
Each limited edition print includes a certificate of authenticity printed on premium, watermarked paper with fluorescent security fibers. The certificate is attached to a serialized, tamper-proof hologram that matches an identical hologram permanently affixed to the reverse side of the artwork and corresponds to an edition log on a third-party artwork registry.
Please Note: Screen colors often appear more vivid than printed images because digital displays actively emit light, while prints rely on reflected light, resulting in softer, natural tones.
