Mr Jago
Created 'The Guardian' for the Tusk Gorilla Trail 2023
The Guardian
The Guardian reflects glimpses of the flora, fauna and insect life, which he has protected for thousands of years, and which he aspires to protect, for many years to come.
Mr Jago
Although considered to have been amongst the vanguard of Bristol’s acclaimed graffiti scene, Mr Jago's work over the last 20 or more years has firmly established him as one of the UK's most respected abstract expressionist painters. Mr Jago's colour-focused, automatic painting is heavily influenced by the natural world.
