Using enormous photographic prints, horizon-forming wall paintings,
sculpture the scale of architecture, collosal scaffolding structures and gargantuan installations, Stephen Hobbs draws on the nature of the physical, psychological and social urban beast of Durban to explore how the city is in constant flux. Hobbs notes that “Modern cities are organised into grids, but within those grids there’s disorder. It’s a phenomenon of the city I try to image.”
