A talented artist can use any medium to create stunning art pieces. Believe it or not, these realistic animal sculptures are all made of a material that is found in ample supply in most homes - old cardboard boxes.
These lifelike animal designs were all created by the London-based artist Josh Gluckstein, who proudly poses with his creations in many of these photos.
The artist first got the idea of using cardboard as an art medium during the first COVID-19 lockdowns.
In an interview with My Modern Met, he said the following, “In lockdown, with limited resources and lots of time to think, I began to experiment with recycled cardboard. The accessibility and versatility of cardboard with its many tones and textures, allows me to capture unique details and raw emotion of the animals that inspire them, all whilst creating zero waste.”
Since then, Gluckstein brought his mastery of this unusual medium to a stunning height. He learned to create a wide range of wild animals, from wise orangutans to lions with big manes and even pangolins. He learned to repeat skin folds, fur, scales, and all textures and shapes imaginable in cardboard. Some of the sculptures are also finished off with a touch of paint.
