Google Earth Joburg






In continuation of my earlier Dislocation series that were selected for Spier Contemporary 2008, I decided to make a series of more complex rooftop paintings of areas surrounding Nirox, like Brixton and Soweto that act as a stark comparison of the privilege of owning and working on this extent of land. I managed to complete 3 and am busy on the fourth painting of Houghton.

They are all watercolour on Fabriano.
If all goes well they may become part of the new BA First Class Lounge at Oliver Tambo Airport.
Hold thumbs!
