Inspired by the pop art movement, the piece draws on street art, surf culture and the electric style of 1980s New York street artist Keith Haring.

Rhinodelic is most certainly a visual explosion that celebrates bold shapes and colour.

Vibrant new look for Samson and Hercules statues in Norwich (Image: Break) Mr Reeve said: “The Samson and Hercules statues are such iconic sculptures in Norwich, so it was a real honour when Mortgage Advice Bureau asked me to give them a colourful makeover.

“It’s a fun way to help draw attention to the rhino here, and the GoGoSafari trail, and my art exhibition happening inside.

“And for those who prefer the originals - don’t worry, the statues will return to their classic look once the trail ends.”

Vibrant new look........
