Part of her iconic print and china collection In Homage to the Last Great Carnivores of Eurasia, this body of work highlights threatened and endangered carnivores across the Eurasian continent. This stunning artwork pays homage to the South China tiger, thought to be extinct in the wild. Butterfly Lover was specifically created for Save Wild Tigers, the original drawing auctioned in London in 2014 to raise funds for their vital work conserving the last remaining wild tigers. The drawing portrays the second part of The Legend of the Last South China Tiger, a tale written by Jane to symbolise the plight of this tiger species. The artwork for her story is inspired by the old Chinese legend the Butterfly Lovers. There are also references to the 'Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto' 1959 by He Zhangao and Chen Gang as well as the film '2046' 2005 by Wong Kar-Wai. Jane's meticulous drawings take several months to research and make. SAVE WILD TIGERS With so many geo-political & eco related issues facing the planet, why should we worry that there are less than 3,800 tigers left in the wild? After all, we can see them in zoos or appreciate their magnificence and historical significance through art, literature and film. Why should we bother to protect this creature in the far-flung corners of Asia? Why? Because the tiger has walked the earth for two million years. Because we care about the legacy we will leave future generations. Because we can make the difference that will mean survival in the wild as opposed to extinction. Because, together, our voices must be heard in the call for fundamental changes to international law to protect the tiger. The wild tiger's survival is in the balance. If we fail to act to save the iconic tiger, what hope do other endangered species have? We have ten years to double wild tiger numbers, or ten years until their extinction. The choice is ours. The clock is ticking - and ticking fast. Join us today in making the right decision for survival.
