HaMa Woods and Harry Skeggs

MAMMALS & BIRDS UNTAMED

11th of May – 4th of June

Hama Woods (b. 1981) is a female stencil artist based in Oslo. Her work shows deep respect for nature and its immediate connection to humanity.
In a search for methods to communicate the importance and revival of nature, HaMa Woods’ stencils intuitively reflect and introduce a sociological approach to greed and human consumption, and its direct impact on our natural environment.
Her work is characterized by the use of hand cuts, multi-layered stencils and spray paint. Hama hopes to empower and challenge viewers to come to their own conclusions and to rethink the choices they make that affect today and tomorrow.

Harry Skeggs (b. 1990) is a multiple award winning wildlife photographer, considered one of the leading fine art photographers in the world. Represented by top galleries internationally, his fine art pieces are highly sought after across the globe and have been described as “some of the most iconic of the 21st century” (Clarendon Fine Art).

The key principle of Harry’s work is his ethos of Wild and Free – every subject in his work is in its natural habitat showing natural behaviour, being strongly against any form of human impact. Harry is determined that his work should be more “for wildlife than it is of wildlife” and for that reason conservation is the lifeblood of his work. A founder and board member of GenerationTusk, as well as a host of other charities, Harry works closely with efforts to protect wildlife across the globe.
