Catalogue Note

“My images are unashamedly idyllic and romantic, a kind of enchanted Africa. They’re my elegy to a world that is steadily, tragically vanishing.” Nick Brandt’s interest in the impact humans are having on African wildlife lies at the heart of his work, and his powerful landscape backdrops serve as a reminder to the viewer of this vanishing world.
