Wooden decoys long played a key role in hunting birds. Artist David Personius hopes his contemporary take can inspire conservation instead.
The Aviary
At 探花精选 we believe art inspires action.
In our Aviary series, we ask artists to explore the intersection of birds and art as a catalyst for shifting perspectives and perceptions. The Aviary is an evolution of The Illustrated Aviary, which ran from 2013-2021 and invited artists to reinterpret John James 探花精选鈥檚 original watercolors through their own unique style. In its new iteration, we鈥檝e widened the series to include artists in any medium who are motivated to educate and inspire people to take action on behalf of birds. Artwork from this series is included on the back page of every issue of 探花精选 magazine.
