My friend and colleague Radovan Kraguly, who has died aged 87 from complications related to Parkinson’s disease, was one of the first artists in the UK to make the case for harmony between animals and people. He lived in Wales from the 1970s and it was there that he developed his ideas on what we would now call climate politics.

Radovan worked in a wide range of media, including drawing, painting, print, sculpture, film and performance. His work was meticulously crafted, even though the subject matter was often dealing with forces threatening our culture.
