Beading the Beast

Ralph Ziman aka Afrika 47, the South African born artist and movie director, has done powerful artworks in Jozi and Cape Town over the years which includes the largest wheat-paste in the world -http://www.graffitisouthafrica.com/2014/10/17/news-resistance-project-by-ralph-ziman-worlds-largest-wheatpaste/

 

His latest project Spoek1 - re-imagining a Casspir armoured troup carrier into a stunning work of art is nearing completion in a Selby warehouse. Over a ton of Czechoslovakian beads were used by a team of skilled crafters to turn a vehicle associated with fear and loathing into, hopefully a beacon of hope.
