South African based artist, Sonny, has been travelling the world with his latest wildlife protection campaign “‘To The Bone” which aims to raise funds and awareness for endangered wildlife before it’s too late. His latest mural for Basel House is of a Polar bear.
Polar bears are Impressively powerful predators, but they’re at risk from man-made global warming.
Sonny’s mural is entitled Nanuk, an Inuit name that means “animal worthy of great respect”.
Once again Sonny brings endangered species to the forefront of conversations as he raises funds and much needed awareness with his huge murals, with support from the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
