We are delighted to introduce our favourite new wildlife artist and social media sensation, Josh Gluckstein. With sustainability at the heart of his practice, Gluckstein utilises recycled cardboard to create life size animal sculptures. The accessibility and versatility of cardboard with its many tones and textures, allows him to capture unique details and raw emotion, all whilst creating zero waste.
Inspired by extensive travels and volunteering through Asia, East Africa, and South America, Gluckstein sought to capture the presence of some of the most majestic animals he has experienced in the wild. His mission is to raise awareness for endangered species and contribute to their preservation. Gluckstein’s 2023 solo show ‘Trafficked’ shone a light on the worlds most trafficked animals and the threats facing them today. The exhibition supported WWF by donating 10% of sales to help aid their vital work in ending the illegal wildlife trade.
