Cy Baker is the overall winner of DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year 2022, and as part of this extraordinary achievement, will be presenting his ‘Uganda Untamed’ exhibition alongside this year’s Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition at the Mall Galleries between 12 and 16 of September to observe Cy’s incredible talent for creating thought-provoking artwork with just a biro.
Cy Baker lives in a time where most of the world is finally waking up to the environmental crisis mankind brought into being. He considers his job as an artist is to spread the message of how valuable, beautiful and fragile our planet is. He feels his part in this is to try to capture and communicate some of the raw, spiritual emotion felt when interacting with nature. Cy comments that he cannot capture the way these moments touch one’s soul in words, photographs or music, so he does so in the only way he knows, through his artwork.
