About This Lot
This work is from a sold out edition.
Nick Brandt is a contemporary English photographer whose work focuses on the destructive environmental impact that humankind has on both the natural world and humans themselves. Among his best-known series is Inherit the Dust (2016), featuring epic panoramas that record the impact of man in places where animals used to roam, but no longer do. In his more recent body of work, This Empty World (2019), the artist addresses the escalating destruction of the natural world, working in color and lighting constructed sets for the first time to create visually complex tableaux. Other series include the trilogy, On This Earth, A Shadow Falls Across the Ravaged Land (2001-2012), This Empty World (2019), The Day May Break (2021-2023), and SINK / RISE (2023). Born in 1964 in London, United Kingdom, Brandt studied film and painting at Saint Martin’s School of Art. His photographs have been exhibited all over the world, including solo exhibitions at Fotografiska in Stockholm, Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow, and the National Museum of Finland in Helsinki, among others. The artist now lives in Southern Californian. He is co-founder of Big Life Foundation, fighting to protect the animals of a large area of Kenya and Tanzania.
