Josh Gluckstein’s sculptures

As a child, artist Josh Gluckstein loved wandering through the wildlife exhibits at the London Natural History Museum. Over time, he encountered many of his favorite animals in real life while traveling abroad—from scuba diving with sea turtles and sharks in Malaysia to walking alongside elephants in Sri Lanka. Those experiences now inspire his life-size animal sculptures, which he crafts from recycled cardboard and other found materials. With his artworks, Gluckstein says, he seeks to capture the presence and energy of majestic species from across the animal kingdom—from pangolins to primates—and contribute to their conservation.
