Description
Ralph Steadman's Extinct Boids is a unique collection of 100 paintings showcasing his interpretations of extinct birds. The artist was commissioned to create one piece each for an exhibition, and the project quickly spiralled out of control as he became increasingly fascinated by the subject. Steadman's artwork features a wide range of birds, from well-known species like the Great Auk and Passenger Pigeon to lesser-known creatures such as the Snail-eating Coua. Each piece is accompanied by notes from Ceri Levy, who provides insight into Steadman's creative process and the stories behind each painting. The result is a vibrant and humorous series of artworks that not only celebrate the beauty of extinct birds but also serve as a poignant reminder of the impact of human activity on the natural world.
