FRENCH ACCENTS
Owning an item of furniture from iconic French brand Roche Bobois is a little like
possessing a piece of statement art: each is striking and timeless, and ends up being
the centrepiece of any room it’s placed in. Thanks to customisable service you can be
sure anything you buy from the brand’s elegant new showroom in the centre of Cape
Town is unique, too. 10-12 Kloof St, Cape Town, 021-286-0793, roche-bobois.comAdmirers will stop you in the streets to
nd out where you bought your leather,
canvas and cowhide Ndebele weekender

Tsakani Mashaba under her brand
Hamethop, the bag joins a collection
of modern African designs destined to
be favourite arm candy for the fashion
forward. instagram.com/hamethop

The 2015 Sanlam Portrait
Award winner talks us
through his work.What’s the story behind
your winning piece ‘After
the Match’? Towards the
end of the Cape school
rugby season our son Jack
was playing a rugby game
against SACS and it always
rains when his team plays
SACS. The field was a mud
bath. Back at home the
contrast between a clean
bathroom and my son
demanded some pictures.
Has the award changed
how you view your art?
I have always considered
myself a ‘weekend artist’.
Winning this award came
as a complete shock. I now
feel a little assured that
my work is better than
I think. This award has
given me a phenomenal
opportunity to make my
art more of a real focus
in my life. Where to from
here? I am going to paint
towards a solo exhibition.
It scares the hell out of me
but I have been asked to
have one potentially a year
from now at Rust-en-Vrede
Gallery in Durbanville.1015_HL_044_045_News&Views_RFO.indd 45 2015/09/07 9:47 AM
