Jigger Cruz's art practice is characterised by his idea to play with defacement and vandalisation. Each artwork created has an underlying notion of the Flemish and Post-Renaissance masters which are covered and distorted by his thick layering artistic process. This is not to hide what is beneath, but rather mystifying the classical backdrop. Cruz primarily works across a painting practice, however, upon visiting Australia and collaborating with printmaker John Loane, this is one of the only series of prints that Jigger Cruz has created.
