Dave White has once again partnered with the conservation charity Tusk on a high-profile public art initiative celebrating wildlife preservation. For this project, White created a hand-painted impasto Sea Turtle sculpture, unveiled at Piccadilly Circus and later sold at auction as part of the campaign launch.
The work forms part of a wider “Turtle Trail” across London, featuring contributions from leading artists including Harland Miller, Magda Archer, Adam Dant, Rankin, and Rob & Nick Carter. Each sculpture was displayed across the capital before being auctioned, with 100% of proceeds directly supporting Tusk’s conservation programmes.
The launch event at Piccadilly Circus marked a major media moment, with the iconic digital billboards taken over to promote the initiative. The large-scale activation temporarily halted traffic and generated significant public and press attention, amplifying awareness for Tusk’s mission on a global stage.
