Sean Scully & Oisin Scully: Jack the Wolf New children's book published by Callaway

4 October 2023

Over the course of his 50-year career, artist Sean Scully's emotional and humanistic approach to abstraction has marked the development of contemporary art. For his new book Jack the Wolf, he has collaborated with his son Oisin to create a children's fairytale. Oisin's drawings are embedded in the paintings with which Sean illustrates the book, while the story was written by the pair between 2014 and 2015 when Oisin was between five and six years old. 

Follow Jack through the pages of this beautifully illustrated picture book to discover the trouble he causes to the children of Colorfull Town in his nightly hunts for chocolate dinners, and how his new friend Rebecca the Rabbit helps him restore happiness to the sad children of the town.

Read art critic David Carrier's review of the book in Counterpunch.
