One of the most forward thinking artworks in years has got the go ahead, with Gur Wallop’s Vegan Lions set to take the contemporary art world by storm. “Very pleased,” Gur said, “I’ve been planning this piece for ten years. It is high time that the lion population of the world became vegan. The journey there will be documented meticulously, and we will be showing the work in museums around the world.”
Wallop’s project is one of the few to marry lions, veganism and large-scale oil painting. “Every lion that converts to veganism for more than a week will be embodied in a full-size portrait. These will be available for collectors to buy, but only if they are vegan.”
