This artist recycled paperboards into majestic sculptures!

A London-based artist Josh Gluckstein has created exotic lifelike animal sculptures made from found and recycled materials. His work is heavily inspired by the presence of some of the most majestic animals he has seen from traveling through Asia, Africa, and South America.

During the lockdown, he started experimenting with different recycled materials to create life-size sculptures of wild animals. He continually strived to make my practice more and more sustainable, and my new collection is made entirely of recycled cardboard and paper.

Its accessibility and versatility allow him to bring the animal to life and capture their character and intriguing beauty while creating zero waste. Because of that, he also has the ambition to raise awareness for endangered species through his art and contribute to their preservation.

Not only that, but he is also an internationally recognized wildlife artist with a focus on anatomical studies, wildlife portraits, and drawings for wildlife documentaries for outlets including Discovery Channel and National Geographic Adventure Magazine. So inspirative!
