Special purpose vehicles

By Janet Sang 2016
Screen print (eight colours) Special Purpose Vehicles is part of the series Capital whose title refers both to the capital city London and to the economic system of capitalism. In the prints, both are referenced through the iconic skyscrapers of London's financial centre. These are depicted cryptically, using representations of the objects from which they derive their nicknames (for example, 30 St Mary Axe is known as ‘The Gherkin’). Edition of ten, printed by the artist at Volcanic Editions, Brighton.
