施力仁以「仁獸」象徵嘉瑞之兆的犀牛當作創作主題，繼犀牛老爸《奔向勝利》、《犀牛母子》之後推出了犀牛小子《金鋼犀牛》，本件作品寬8米8，高約5米，披著盔甲和鉚釘的科幻造型，以現代主義未來派的手法表達，此次更突破過去使用的媒材，運用不鏽鋼銀色的鏡面更強調其時尚的線條感，犀牛角則使用鈦合金材質，造型中運用當代手法，整體造型渾然一體，於渾厚俐落中流露出一派天真，這種於平淡中見神奇的藝術手法，一直是中國傳統審美觀所追求的最高境界。
以犀牛健壯的造型為主題，運用具象手法融入科幻的想像，內斂的表現出東方藝術家獨到的精神氣質和內在意涵，在戶外景觀雕塑上結合了公共社會互動，和空間環境協調一致又相得益彰，像是一種紀念碑式的宏大呈現。而犀牛在古代意涵中象徵著富足安康，又兼具神秘力量。犀牛家族是呈現出家庭溫馨的天倫之樂，有夫妻或父子，正是施力仁對於自身情感的最佳抒發。
Shih Li-Jen, an artist, chose the rhinoceros as the subject of his work, symbolizing the auspicious omen of Jia-Rui, and created "King Kong Rhino", a sculpture that follows in the footsteps of his previous works, "Run to Victory" and "Mother and Child Rhino". This piece is 8.8 meters wide and about 5 meters high, with a sci-fi-inspired design adorned with armor and rivets, expressed in a modernist and futuristic style. This time, the artist broke through the limitations of traditional materials and employed stainless steel with a silver mirror finish to highlight its fashionable lines. The rhino horn is made of titanium alloy, and contemporary techniques were used in the design, resulting in a seamless and harmonious appearance that exudes a sense of innocence amidst its solid and sharp lines.
Using the sturdy figure of the rhino as the main theme, the artist blended concrete techniques with imaginative sci-fi elements, showcasing a unique Eastern artistic temperament and profound connotations. The outdoor sculpture combines public interaction and harmonious coordination with the surrounding environment, presenting a monumental and grandiose presence akin to a commemorative monument. In ancient times, the rhinoceros symbolized wealth, health, and mysterious power, and the rhino family represented the warmth of family bonds, whether it be husband and wife or father and child. This artwork is Shih Li-Jen's best expression of his emotions and innermost feelings.
