Camouflage Exhibition

I have stumbled across a major exhibition during my research called Camouflage. The exhibition explores the impact of camouflage on modern warfare and popular culture.

Artists and designers were employed to conceal and distort everything from soldiers to battleships and the concept behind this exhibition is to explore camouflage and to see how artists and designers can be influenced to use contemporary art and fashion from a street-style point of view to couture.  

These artists and designers have had a key role in this new development of camouflage by concealing soldiers, aircraft, tanks, ships and buildings but also creating visual deceptions.

Camouflage has always been adopted by anti-war protesters and even by famous musicians such as The Clash and Public Enemy.

The patterns that are being used for camouflage have also inspired artists from Andy Warhol, Alain Jacquet and Alighiero Boetti. It has also conquered the fashion world by inspiring couture designers like Jean Paul Gautier and even street style, which was created by Maharish.
