Two Brothers - Ancient Rites is part of The Art of BAS Tiger Project, raising funds for tiger conservation through the sales of the Original Oil Painting, Fine Art Canvas Limited Edition and Fine Art Paper Limited Edition. The majority of the Tiger Project revenue supports the vital work of world-renowned tiger researcher Dr. Raghu Chundawat.
It's an honor to be associated with the Pathe´/Universal movie Two Brothers, raising awareness of the tiger's plight and necessary funds for tiger conservation through his Two Brothers - Ancient Rites artwork. The movie was directed by Jean-Jacque Arnaud, director of other films such as Seven Years in Tibet, Enemy at the Gates and The Bear. Jake Eberts produced the movie following on from much acclaim gained through producing Dances with Wolves, the Killing Fields, and other well known titles.
I ventured out to the film location at Angkor Wat, Cambodia, so as to place the stars of the movie within the setting of the temples. One of the challenges of creating such a painting was to somehow portray the tiger cubs in a way that displayed their individual characters. Hopefully this was conveyed in the final composition together with the mystique of the ancient surrounds. Two tiger cubs begin their foray within the ruins of an ancient temple. The more adventurous of the brothers has his attention aroused by a resting butterfly. The other more passive brother prefers to observe matters from afar while his sibling leads the way.
The painting also depicts an ornate figure from Ta Phrom Temple, Angkor Wat, Cambodia. The Temple was built around 900 AD by the Kmer Kingdom, later to be reclaimed by the encompassing jungle.
Two Brothers - Ancient Rites is available as a Fine Art Canvas Limited Edition and Fine Art Paper Limited Edition.
