'We’re promoting vegetarianism': Seán Scully and son Oisín collaborate on Jack the Wolf book

The celebrated Irish artist and his son already have a cast in mind if the book is made into an animated film 

Seán Scully and his  son Oisín have published Jack the Wolf. 

Seán Scully and his 14-year-old son Oisín are reclining on a hotel bed in Brest, France. They are just back from a walk on the Breton coast with Oisín’s mother, the artist Liliane Tomasko, and Scully is taking a breather before he delivers a public lecture on his latest exhibition, Sean Scully: Géographies, which runs at Passerelle, Centre d’art Contemporain in Brest until January 2024.

The three have recently relocated to London, where Scully grew up, from New York, where he has been based since 1975. “We didn’t want to live in America when Oisín was in high school because of the guns,” he says. “It’s nice to be back in Europe. We are very European. And Oisín’s happy in London, he loves his new school. It’s a rather refined establishment, but he goes to football a few times a week on Hampstead Heath with these kids who play as if their lives depended on it.”
