ATM Tuesday 23 January 2024 7pm GMT
Topic: Painting for conservation
ATM paints endangered species on urban walls drawing attention to the environmental crisis to a wide audience by bringing huge images of our native fauna, much of which is disappearing at an alarming rate.
By showing the beauty and significance of these creatures he hopes to inspire interest, curiosity and a desire to protect them and the habitats on which they depend.
He brings colour and beauty into the public domain, out of the galleries and accessible to all, with the aim to inspire active participation in environmental protection and creation. Small individual changes repeated on a large scale can have dramatically positive effects.
He believes that by doing so we would also create a healthier and more beautiful environment for ourselves.
Street art can play a valuable role in this cultural shift.
