Colin Banks ‘Wild World’

Colin Banks is a committed conservationist and his concerns about endangered species, particularly the big cats, add a frisson of empathy and authenticity to each piece in his mesmerising new collection. There is also a strong sense of narrative; these animals have a story to tell of past adventures and uncertain futures, and they issue a challenge to us to stop, look and listen to what they have to tell us. Hypnotic and expressive, their eyes convey a hard won sense of inner stillness combined with a suggestion of impending drama.
