About the Item

Ice Leopard Antarctica, 2006 24 in x 36 in (61 x 91.4 cm) Edition of 20 - $3,500 31 in x 46.5 in (78.7 x 118.1 cm) Edition of 15 40 in x 60 in (101.6 x 152.4 cm) Edition of 10 60 in x 90 in (152.4 x 228.6 cm) Edition of 7 "This massive leopard seal had found the perfect perch to sun herself, resting her chin on the ice while keeping one eye on the surface below. Her sleek and powerful body is designed to handle Antarctica’s freezing currents thanks to a thick layer of insulating blubber. However, like all pinnipeds, leopard seals rarely pass on an opportunity to revel in the warmth of the sun’s rays and settle down for a nap. I chose to frame her sleepy face between the icy waters below and the soft pale sky above – encompassing the dichotomy of her role as a calculating and skilled predator with the gentler side of her nature." - Paul Nicklen Paul Nicklen's Biography: Paul Nicklen (Canadian) is a visual artist and marine biologist who has documented both the beauty and the plight of our planet for over 20 years. Paul’s photography informs and connects by creating an emotional bond with wild subjects in extreme conditions. After a 20-year career of photographing for journalistic publications like National Geographic, Paul’s perpetuating dream is to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to continue photographing intimate, evocative, powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Paul hopes his viewers look into the eyes of the animals in his photographs and fall in love with their vulnerability. In addition to being one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers, Paul is a well-known speaker, TED Talks participant, author, and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues such as climate change. Paul has garnered more than 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, earning a global following of celebrities, conservationists, and fans.
