DAZZLE: continuing the art of disruption, Southampton City Art Gallery, Commercial Road, Southampton

'Dazzle camouflage is one of the most strikingly aesthetic tools of war ever employed. Beautiful, stunning, and, in practice, terrifying, it was a rare occurrence where art was the technology and war became the medium.
Although it’s more jarring variations were discontinued following World War II, dazzle camouflage is still influencing and stimulating artists to form intense compositions of clashing geometries and patterns.
Following the Dazzle: Disguise and Disruption in War and Art exhibition at St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery, Lymington, this exhibition showcases those artists who have taken a dazzle aesthetic and divorced it from the theatre of war, bringing ideas and designs to a modern audience in cities and galleries.'

I will be exhibition a vitreous enamel and steel sculpture alongside a 2d painting and a large wall mural designed for this exhibition and painted directly onto the gallery walls.
