About the Charity Art Exhibition
The wild natural world is an exciting and magical place. It's filled with the most stunning scenery and charismatic creatures. However, we are currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction, with more and more beautiful animals in trouble and hundreds of millions of the most important animals are becoming at risk of imminent extinction for reasons that can be traced back to humans.
Love the Last charity art exhibition is parallel to the world largest sculpture exhibition Love the Last March in Singapore’s most iconic attraction Gardens by the Bay. This exhibition is an artistic way for people to rethink the dependency between humans and animals, to jointly examine the current urgent animal crisis, and to raise awareness, funds and support for endangered animals across the world, encouraging people to take action before they lose these animals forever.
We are very honored to be supporting WWF Singapore, by donating 10% total sales to WWF foundation. Prestige Art Gallery believes art is a powerful platform for social change. Through this exhibition, we aim to create an unforgettable experience and get everyone thinking and reconnecting with the wild world.
We believe that art can speak for animals, promote social progress, and make the blue planet we cohabit a better place!
About Artist
Gillie and Marc
“The most successful and prolific creators of public art in New York’s History”
New York Times
The husband-and-wife duo are on a mission to make art for a better tomorrow. They are best known for their beloved characters, Rabbitwoman and Dogman, who tell the autobiographical tale of two opposites coming together as best friends and soul mates. Their art is known for its use of bold and bright colors, and for the way it invites people from all walks of life to participate in their vision of a more connected and compassionate world. Spanning a variety of mediums, including sculpture, painting, and mixed media, their art often features playful, anthropomorphic animals that embody their message of inclusivity and unity.
Through their art, Gillie and Marc have created a world that is both unique and inviting, one that celebrates the beauty of diversity and encourages us all to embrace our differences and come together as one.
‘We are two people working as one, with a single vision — something no one else is doing in art’.
Gillie and Marc are also passionate eco-warriors and have dedicated their lives to protecting nature. Gillie grew up with the wildlife in Zambia and Marc studied chimpanzees in Tanzania as a young man.
Over time, the artists developed a deep appreciation for all living things and a desire to preserve the magnificence of the natural world. A unique form of Last March contemporary conservation, these sculptures have raised unprecedented awareness and funds to save some of the world’s most endangered animals.
About Love the Last March
The longest sculpture in the world
192 meters in length
features 45 of the world’s most endangered species,
marching together to save the animal kingdom!
The world’s largest sculpture is now open to public in Singapore’s most iconic attraction--Gardens by the Bay. Designed by internationally renowned artists, Gillie and Marc, Love The Last March depicts the greatest animal march on earth. The sculpture aims to bring awareness to the massive rate of wildlife extinction and to help save the animal kingdom.
“We need to move from being apart from nature to being a part of nature once again.”
David Attenborough
Each sculpture is based on real animals that Gillie and Marc have photographed and sketched over the years, giving the audience as accurate an image of each animal as possible. People can also learn about them through the information found by scanning the QR codes on each sculpture. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to connect with the wild like never before.

Olivia Liu

Olivia has always believed that art is ultimately the best language to connect people with each other and with nature. Art is never above life, and as an artist, one must have a social perspective, especially in the immensely sacred and challenging project of wildlife conservation. Olivia feels that she has an obligation to contribute her strength to this cause.
