Jacob Logos
Wolf at the Door, 2023
Aquinas College, Jeffcott St. North Adelaide
Commissioned by City of Adelaide
Unwaveringly loyal and embodying the virtues of a courageous hunter and provider, the wolf stands proudly as the mascot for Aquinas Residential College in North Adelaide.
Accompanied by the Latin motto “Lucere et Ardere,” meaning “to shine and burn,” the wolf serves as a symbolic representation, enlightening with knowledge and enlivened with faith.
The inclusion of a constellation in the mural serves as a reminder of the connection to the divine, paying homage to the residential college’s faith-based origins. This captivating artwork not only pays tribute to the core values of Aquinas but also injects a vibrant burst of colour onto the historic, tree-lined streets of North Adelaide.
Reignite Adelaide Program
The City of Adelaide commissioned local artists to brighten and activate main streets and laneways across North Adelaide and the CBD. The project was developed to support local traders and provide employment opportunities for creatives.
Delivered in partnership with Guildhouse, the initiative, completed in 2023 resulted in 8 new public artworks.
Artist Biography:
As a predominantly self-representing painter, Jacob has presented solo and duo shows in Australia and the UK, and translated his distinctive illustrative style onto walls in Buenos Aires, London, Berlin, Sydney and Adelaide. He was honoured as the inaugural Artists in residence at Jacobs Creek in the Barossa, and has proudly produced and installed a series of granite engravings in Reconciliation Plaza, Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga in the centre of Adelaide. As well as developing ground breaking new work with bleeding edge volumetric technology, including an animated holographic entry in the 2022 Waterhouse Art Prize, Jacob has steadily maintained a traditional painting studio and printmaking practise.
