Titus limited edition print Titus, the silverback Mountain Gorilla, recently featured in a TV documentary charting the remarkable history of the oldest known patriarch of his kind. The photograph that inspired this drawing was taken by my Born Free colleague and renowned primatologist, Ian Redmond OBE, who studied the gorillas under Dian Fossey. It is fitting that in this, the UN Year of the Gorilla, of which Ian is Ambassador, I should complete my first gorilla drawing - and I am honoured, and very grateful to Ian for allowing me to commemorate such a charismatic, emblematic individual.
"It seems strange that a few pencil lines on a piece of paper can sometimes say more than the millions of pixels in a colour photograph, but if Chris Wright was holding the pencil, they do. There is something about the way an artist interacts with reality that brings out something more, and this beautiful drawing captures the very essence of Titus, a splendid silverback mountain gorilla I have known since he was two." - Ian Redmond OBE
