Original artwork description:

Rewild: restore (an areas of land) to its natural uncultivated state (used especially with reference to the reintroduction of species of wild animals that had been driven out or exterminated).

This is the idea behind a series of paintings I'm working on called 'rewilding' only in this scenario imagine that despite being warned repeatedly we refused to listen and the doomsday clock made it all the way to midnight (it's currently at 2 minutes to). The planet is now free of humans and rewilding has occurred naturally, the rest of the animal kingdom having once again found the perfect balance they had before our interference. Nature has reclaimed her space and all is once again right with the world.

This is the first in the series where I decided to bring one of those famous lions in Trafalgar Square to life.
