'Ambassadors for their species'

In the realm of contemporary art, there exists a masterful fusion of craftsmanship and alchemical magic, brought to life by the visionary artist John King. King’s intricate creations seamlessly blend the art of glassblowing with the ancient craft of electroforming. Through his work, King creates an enchanting art exhibition that captivates the senses and sparks discussion.

​

Kings’ art is more than just an artistic endeavour; it is a profound exploration of the delicate balance between the natural world and humanity’s impact on life on our planet. His debut collection is a testament to his commitment to this vital dialogue.
King’s work extends beyond the realm of aesthetics; it is a call to action, an invitation to dialogue and a reflection on our shared responsibility. “Ambassadors to their Species” reminds us to consider the impact of our choices and our collective duty to protect the fragile ecosystems that sustain life on Earth.

​

Inspired by the fragility of nature, King crafts his pieces with care to provoke introspection and raise questions about our impact on the planet’s biodiversity. The collection features real honeybees, bumblebees, butterflies and dragonflies, preserved in all their glory and gilded with pure, radiant gold. Every tiny detail of these magnificent creatures has been meticulously captured, revealing the breathtaking artistry of nature itself.
