Synopsis

35 painted portraits by renowned artist Philip McCulloch-Downs.
This book highlights the work of animal rights activists worldwide, celebrating their tireless work bearing witness to, liberating, and providing sanctuary to animals exploited in commercial industries. It features poignant and thought-provoking writing throughout, from animal advocates/activists across the globe.

'Philip McCulloch-Downs’ ACTIVISTS series is what animal rights art is supposed to be – revolutionary, compelling and instructive.'

- Twyla Francois, animal rights artist and activist

The visual language of art transcends language and culture and speaks directly to the heart.

In these works, I took time to focus on showing kindness and empathy - empathy between human and non-human animals. It is the precious moment of physical and emotional connection that I wanted to record in these works - for it is this moment of selflessness that elevates us from merely 'human' to 'humane'.

'The scenes almost appear to be three-dimensional, multi layered and tangible and therefore captivate me more intensely than most photographs or painting are able to do. I don’t think that anyone with his heart in the right place who engages with these paintings will be untouched.'

- Steffen Freitag, Land der Tiere Animal Sanctuary.
