Description

This striking photomontage of Sir David Attenborough is a masterful collage composed entirely of intricately cut-out images of wildlife. The piece is a celebration of biodiversity, featuring a vast array of animals, from birds and reptiles to marine life and mammals. Carefully arranged, these elements merge seamlessly to form Attenborough’s likeness, symbolising his lifelong dedication to the natural world.

Look closely, and you’ll find a rich tapestry of creatures, including elephants, owls, whales, snakes, insects, and even delicate botanical details, all working together to shape the contours of his face and clothing. The overall effect is both mesmerising and deeply meaningful—a tribute to the interconnectedness of life on Earth.
James Vaulkhard is a London-based interdisciplinary artist known for his dynamic fusion of classical technique and contemporary expression. Originally from Kenya, he studied History of Art at Leeds University before training and teaching at Charles Cecil Studios and Studio Della Statua in Florence. His early work gained recognition for its mastery of traditional portraiture and sculpture, but since relocating to London, Vaulkhard has embraced a more experimental approach. Another aspect of his creative practice is crafting handmade paper collage portraits of iconic figures. James meticulously layers paper to create depth and character in each piece.
