Jack the Wolf

English

By (author): Oisin Scully Sean Scully

Sean Scully is a world-renowned abstract painter and one of the leading artists of his generation, whose work is held in major museum collections around the world. In Jack the Wolf, he teamed up with his son Oisin to create a children's fairytale: Sean created the paintings and Oisin created the story.

Jack the Wolf lives in a beautiful cave on a short mountain, near Colorfull Town. Jack is a happy and benevolent wolf, with only one weakness: CHOCOLATE. Follow Jack the Wolf through the pages of this beautifully illustrated book by world-renowned artist Sean Scully and his son Oisin Scully, to discover the trouble Jack 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.

The publication of Jack the Wolf coincides with the opening of an exhibition at the Cheim Read Gallery in New York City in September 2023 that will feature the original drawings in the book as well as Sean Scully's abstract paintings and sculpture that link visually to the Jack the Wolf world. The remarkable combination of drawings, sculpture, and paintings will draw national press. Callaway plans advertising and interviews with Sean Scully nationally for the book's publication. Jack the Wolf is the first title in the new Callaway children's book series focusing on artists creating art with a family member. See more

He has been shortlisted twice for the Turner Prize and his work is in the collection of virtually every major museum around the world. In 2014 he became the only Western artist to have had a career-length retrospective exhibition in China (Follow the Heart: The Art of Sean Scully 1964 - 2014 that included over 100 paintings and traveled from Shanghai to Beijing). Recent solo exhibitions in the USA include Landline at The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (2018) which travelled to the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Connecticut (2019) and The Shape of Ideas a major retrospective held at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (2021) and The Philadelphia Museum of Art (2022). In the UK the first major exhibition of his sculptures was held at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2018 and the solo exhibition Sea Star was held at The National Gallery of Art London (2019). In Europe recent major solo exhibitions include the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe Germany (2018) the Albertina Museum in Vienna Austria (2019) Villa Panza in Varese Italy (2019) and at San Giorgio Maggiore for the 58th Venice Art Biennale Italy (2019). The major retrospective Passenger opened at the Hungarian National Gallery Budapest (2020) and travelled to the Benaki Museum Athens (2021) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb Croatia (2022). Other major exhibitions in 2022 have included MAMbo Museo dArte Moderna di Bologna Bologna Italy and Thorvaldsens Museum Copenhagen Denmark. OISIN SCULLY was born in 2009 and was named after the greatest warrior poet of Irish mythology. Oisin the warrior poet lived in Tír na Nóg the land of eternal youth. Oisin the boy lives in the Hudson Valley and goes to Blue Rock School in Nyack. Oisin the boy is also a poet and when hes not making up stories and drawing with his Dad he can be found making up stories with his friends and going on adventures with his dog Charlie. Oisíns favorite animal is the wolf and Charlie looks like one. However all animals like Oisín whether he wants them to or not! So if you ever want to find him yourself all you have to do is drive around the Hudson Valley looking for a trail of dogs cats birds and even the odd rabbit following a boy with curly hair. Luckily no real wolves follow him. That would be dangerous.
