King of the Urban Jungle blends the power of the lion with the resilience of Sheffield’s cityscape.
Known for her detailed urban scenes, artist Jo Peel weaves local architecture such as rooftops, cranes and the iconic Winter Garden into the lion’s form.
This symbolises how nature adapts and endures in industrial environments, and this artwork is a bold tribute to wildlife thriving in the heart of the city.
