Josh Gluckstein is a London based wildlife artist. Sustainability is at the heart of his practice, and he uses recycled cardboard to create life-size animal sculptures and reliefs. Inspired by his travels, Josh seeks to recreate the presence and personality of some of the most majestic animals he has seen in the wild.

 

In lockdown with limited resources and lots of time to think, Josh began to experiment with recycled cardboard. The accessibility and versatility of cardboard with its many tones and textures, allows Josh to capture unique details and raw emotion, all whilst creating zero waste.

 

Josh Gluckstein’s aptly titled, upcoming solo show at Woolff Gallery TRAFFICKED focuses on the world's most trafficked animals. The illegal wildlife trade is decimating wildlife populations across the globe. Many of the animals we love are being poached and trafficked to extinction.

 

Josh's gold series on display in the TRAFFICKED exhibition aims to shine a light on these animals and the threats facing them today.

 

This year, Josh Gluckstein and Woolff Gallery are delighted to be supporting WWF by donating 10% of sales to their incredible efforts to end the illegal wildlife trade.
