Note: London-based artist Louis Masai is a painter, sculptor, and muralist, who works in both studios and outdoor spaces. His art touches on themes of climate change, the possibility of the sixth great extinction, and the heartbreaking reality of endangered species. From public walls to canvas, Masai’s patchwork animals are created with a genuine passion and respect for animals in the wild. Current works deal with endangered species, created into patchwork plush toys, highlighting the need for humans to pay more attention to what is happening in nature and acknowledge that without protection only toys, paintings and souvenirs will remain.
Approximate retail value £800
Generously donated by Louis Masai. The proceeds of sale from this lot will benefit The Glasgow Childrens Hospital Appeal.
