SPIKE THE PROTECTOR – Original Rhino Oil Painting on Canvas
SPIKE THE PROTECTOR is a powerful original oil painting depicting a rhino as a symbol of strength, guardianship, and resilience. Created by Kent-based artist Colin Buckham, this striking artwork combines expressive oil paint layered over an acrylic base, producing rich depth, texture, and dramatic presence.
Painted on a professionally stretched canvas, this large-scale original artwork makes a bold statement piece for modern interiors, collectors of wildlife art, and those drawn to symbolic animal paintings. The rhino’s commanding stance and intense detail give the piece a strong emotional impact while celebrating one of nature’s most iconic protectors.
This is a one-of-a-kind original painting, not a print or reproduction, making it a unique investment for art collectors and interior designers alike.
