About
Jiro Osuga paints anything and everything that he experiences, from airport terminals to snails. He is often the protagonist in his own paintings, acting out with gentle self-deprecation the tragi-comedy of an artist’s life.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
These paintings celebrate small moments from my day to day life. They are also mini studies in the manipulation of space in a painting.
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
