Medium:limited edition giclée on canvas
About the Art:The greater kudu is arguably the most handsome antelope in Africa. With the male's spiral horns often reaching two and a half twists and a length of nearly 70 inches, their beauty and grace is beyond compare. Their horns have been used by indigenous people as musical instruments, honey containers, symbolic objects used in rituals and as a symbol of male potency. Like all spiral-horned antelope, they posses small white patches on their face and neck which supports the legend that when God made them, he held their faces to admire their exquisite beauty, and when he let go, his finger prints left the white marks. - JB
JOHN BANOVICH John Banovich began sketching wildlife while growing up in the copper-mining town of Butte MT. He painted animals on antlers and fashioned them into bolo ties, earrings and belt buckles, inspired by the elk and deer that his father hunted. At ten, he sold his first oil. He received a degree from the Art Institute of Seattle in graphic design. In 1993, as a virtual unknown, his painting of two lionesses won Best of the Show in Seattle's Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show. He is now recognized as one of the world's top wildlife painters.
