Jason and his Argonauts

Jason Wilsher-Mills: The Super Cool Digital Artist!
 

22 June to 7 September 2024
 

Jason is an artist that uses fancy tech to create awesome, colourful art.

Jason wasn't always a digital whizz. He started out using oils, but later switched to making art with computers and tablets. Why? Because he's a superstar who adapted to challenges and embraced new ways to create after becoming disabled.

He's exhibited his art all over the world, including at V&A Late, Tate Exchange at Tate Modern and Liberty Festival London. He has produced commissions for Sky Arts, ITV, the British Council and the Houses of Parliament and was recipient of the prestigious Adam Reynolds Award 2020.

Jason's work celebrates his own life and experiences, including his northern roots, pop culture he loved as a kid, and the stories of other people like him. His art is often big, bright, and full of humour! 

Jason creates all sorts of cool stuff, from flat pictures to 3D sculptures, even hiding secret digital surprises in his artwork!

A 20-21 Visual Arts Centre Touring Exhibition

Wondering what to expect?

A warm welcome awaits everyone at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum.  Our friendly team of Visitor Experience Assistants are always on hand to help with any queries.  This is our most accessible exhibition yet with sensory backpacks, ear defenders, handling tables and the use of Makaton.   Look out for the floor stickers guiding you to the Jason and his argonauts exhibition.  The giant inflatables are a little noisy due to the fan feeding them with air.  Feel free to borrow ear defenders.  There are lots of hands on activities in the gallery so there are plenty of opportunities to relax and be creative.  Finally if you prefer a relaxed time away from the crowds please check out the holiday activity programme for our scheduled relaxed hours or contact us in advance to ask if there are quieter times.
