Peter Beard — Loliondo Lion Charge from The End of the Game
Peter Beard

Loliondo Lion Charge from The End of the Game

Peter Beard's "Loliondo Lion Charge from The End of the Game" is a mixed media gelatin silver print that combines photographic documentation with painterly intervention, exemplifying the artist's distinctive approach to narrative and ecological commentary. The work features ink and paint applied directly to the photographic surface, a technique that blurs the boundaries between photography and drawing while intensifying the dramatic subject matter of the charging lion. Created as part of Beard's larger photographic and artistic project documenting East African wildlife and conservation, the piece reflects his commitment to bearing witness to both the majesty and vulnerability of endangered species through unconventional artistic means.

Unique gelatin silver print with ink and paint, executed later.
