Artwork Description

A life size portrait of Melbourne Zoo’s resident coati, Japura, this piece was the result of some quick in situ sketches and reference photos. Japura was a helpful subject and spent the whole session bounding about in search of food.

Pairing Japura with a trail of hundreds and thousands candy adds colour, builds narrative, and creates an effective pop dynamic for this piece.

Perfect for any room of the house, this piece would be ideal for lovers of wildlife and pop art.
