Artwork description:

Lola's two cubs play with one of their mother, Lola’s cousins (Kito's daughter) on top of a termite mound at sunset.

These two cubs are absolute terrors, never missing an opportunity to find a high vantage point, climb on their mother, or stalk the tail of one of the other pride members as they look for a place to settle down for the day.

Sadly, during the month I spent following them, the young male cub disappeared. There was a noticeable closeness among the pride in the days after, but it wasn’t long before the final remaining cub was back causing mischief. Lola’s final cub is still going strong and will no doubt be a future leader in the Marsh Pride.

Print Details - This photograph is part of Matthew's "Individuals" Collection from his solo exhibition of the same name. Limited to just 50, the artwork is printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavy-duty 100% cotton rag fine art paper chosen for its beautiful but subtle texture and matte finish, which has the highest industry standards for colour reproduction and sharpness. This ensures the optimum detail, contrast and colour depth. All prints come signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

Exhibition Details - Meet the individuals of the Maasai Mara. Each character has their own personal story, unique history, and uncertain future. They have distinctive personalities, close bonds, feared enemies, and emotions as strong as your own. Visiting the same individuals every single day, Matthew gets to know his subjects on a deeply personal level. By highlighting these personal stories, showing animals to be emotional individuals rather than just an anonymous statistic in a wider population, Matthew hopes to promote a desire to protect and care for this precious wildlife.
