British and Australian artists, Gillie and Marc have been called “the most successful and prolific creators of public art in New York’s History” by the New York Times.

Their highly coveted sculptures and paintings can be seen in art galleries and public sites in over 250 cities.
The artists are best known for their beloved characters, Rabbitwoman and Dogman, who tell the autobiographical tale of two opposites coming together to become best friends and soul mates. As unlikely animal kingdom companions, the Rabbit and the Dog stand for diversity and acceptance through love. Gillie and Marc believe art is a powerful platform for change. Their art is multi-disciplinary, paying homage to the importance of togetherness, as well as the magnificence of the natural world, and the necessity of preserving it – for we are it, and it is us.
Dreamy Escape: Original painting - Enamel on canvas.
Dogman and Rabbitwoman are depicted riding a Vespa together at breakneck speed, creating a sense of exhilarating motion. Their figures are portrayed in the style of pen drawings, trailing behind them as they race forward, adding an intriguing dimension to the artwork. Against a backdrop that seems to blur with their speed, the scene exudes a dream-like quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the excitement of the moment. The fusion of the Vespa's swift movement and the ethereal quality of their silhouettes captures the essence of a fantastical escape, where the boundaries between reality and imagination seamlessly intertwine.
The iconic style of Gillie and Marc’s Thick Texture Paintings provide the tangible dimensions of a sculpture with the convenient spatial simplicity of a painting. Multiple layers of impasto are mixed with the paint. With each piece, Gillie and Marc are sharing a part of their unique experience through choppy brushstrokes and captivating visuals that create a harmonious image that is more than just a painting.
