'Ambassadors to their Species'
In the realm of contemporary art, there exists a masterful fusion of craftsmanship and alchemical magic, brought to life by visionary artist, John King. King's intricate creations seamlessly blend the art of glassblowing with the ancient craft of electroforming. With his work King creates a mesmerizing display of art that captivates the senses and sparks discussion.
My art is more than just an artistic endeavour; it's a profound exploration of the delicate balance between the natural world and the impact of humanity on our planet's life. His debut collection stands as a testament to his commitment to this vital dialogue.
My work goes beyond the mere realm of aesthetics; it is a call to action, an invitation for dialogue, and a reflection on our shared responsibility. "Ambassadors to their Species" reminds us to consider the impact of our choices and our collective duty to safeguard the fragile ecosystems that sustain life on Earth.
Drawing inspiration from the fragility of nature, King meticulously crafts his pieces to provoke introspection and raise questions about our influence on the planet's biodiversity. The collection features real honeybees, bumblebees, butterflies, and dragonflies, preserved in their full glory and plated in pure, radiant gold. Every minute detail of these exquisite creatures is painstakingly captured, revealing the breathtaking artistry of nature itself.
