SAS Somerset

A story by

Chad Rossouw

on the 2nd of April 2015. This should take you < 1 minute to read.

Half abstraction, half distraction, Stephen Hobbs is displaying a mock-up of a Dazzle paint pattern designed for the SAS Somerset (a military ship stored at the Waterfront). Hobbs’ work looks at artists used as camofleurs for war. See this at Twenty Fifty on Spin Street, Cape Town till the 17th April 2015.
