Introducing The Tusk Gorilla Trail at Covent Garden, in partnership with African conservation charity Tusk and Westbrook Gallery. From July 14th until 12th October, discover our trail of 15 life-sized gorilla sculptures across the Covent Garden neighbourhood.

Following the huge success and popularity of the Tusk Rhino Trail in 2018 and the Tusk Lion Trail in 2021, the 15 gorilla sculptures will be placed throughout the historic Piazza and streets of London’s Covent Garden, including Seven Dials. The artworks will be on display for the public to enjoy throughout summer

Discover the collaborators

Curated by Chris Westbrook, from Westbrook Gallery, discover the 15 internationally recognised artists, designers and ambassadors who have collaborated on designing the gorillas.

“To celebrate our dear Frankie, a King in his own right and to our new King who reminds everyone of the magic of London past, present and future. - Jon & Jen Cleese ”

“For this piece I have played with the idea that if the gorilla could communicate its own values, beliefs and sense of humour through tattoo art. What would it say? - Hannah Shergold”

“Sun Wukong, also known as Monkey King, is an iconic and beloved Chinese mythological character known as a symbol of perseverance, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil. - Gordon Cheung”

Auction Coming Soon

Following the interactive sculpture trail, the unique works of art will be auctioned and there will also be a public viewing exhibition of the 15 sculptures - more information to follow.
