about
Josh Gluckstein is a London-based wildlife artist known for his life-size animal sculptures made from recycled cardboard. Drawing inspiration from his extensive travels and encounters with animals in their natural habitats, Josh’s work highlights the beauty and vulnerability of the animals he creates.
“I would say my art is born from love and appreciation for wildlife, the natural world, and the diverse creatures that inhabit it. Sustainability is at the heart of my practice.”
With a 500K+ strong social media following, Josh collaborates with cultural institutions and brands to create sculptures that engage the public and spark conversation around sustainability and wildlife protection. His immersive artwork has captivated audiences internationally in museums, galleries, and at major events.
Since 2021, Josh has been working exclusively with recycled cardboard, and his process is now completely zero-waste. It’s his ambition to raise awareness for endangered species through his art and contribute to their preservation, partnering with conservation charities to support their vital work.
