Jak’s paintings and drawings range in topic from local Kiga traditions and Christian imagery to overtly sexual themes. His works have been reproduced on calendars, posters and health campaigns for family planning and HIV-AIDS. This is an early wax crayon drawing of a couple in love. The motif of an intimately entwined couple was recurrent in his work in the 1960s.
Jak moved to Kenya in the late 1970s, and enjoyed a long, successful career in Nairobi.
