About the Item
3rd Version's (Ben Patterson) "Masks We Wear, Wanting to Grow" is a 2022 oil painting on cradled panel measuring 10 x 10 x 1.5 inches. The work is unframed and ready to hang. This compact yet evocative square-format painting features a realistically rendered young rhinoceros outfitted in a stitched, body-hugging costume that gently reshapes its form. Set in a golden savanna filled with layered grasses and silhouetted acacia trees, the background glows in warm tones that balance the monochrome gray of the animal.
The rhino’s face is painted with a high degree of realism, capturing its leathery skin and watchful gaze. In contrast, the rest of its body is stylized into a soft, padded garment that reads both as protective and performative. Patterson blends these visual languages to offer a meditation on strength, vulnerability, and transformation.
"Wanting to Grow" continues the artist’s ongoing "Masks We Wear" series, which explores the roles and identities we inhabit. This piece conveys yearning and transition—a small creature dressed for something greater, caught between its current form and imagined future. Intimate in scale yet rich in meaning, the painting offers an elegant reflection on becoming.
