Precious

Us (Skin Tone Project) is a contemporary painting series by Irish artist Myra Jago exploring skin tone, humanity, and emotional connection. Through subtle tonal fields and surface, the works invite reflection on vulnerability, empathy, and shared human experience, each carrying the word ‘US’ in its title. The series forms a central part of Myra Jago’s contemporary practice, alongside works in her Earth Series of silky fabric paintings and sculptural forms, all united by an interest in human connection and care.
