At Seeplaas, guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind accommodation in an inflatable bubble. With unspoilt views, guests can overlook the ocean, stargaze, and track the movements of the sun and moon right from their bed. This experience is the first, and currently only one of its kind in South Africa.
However, this isn’t the only awe-inspiring feature at Seeplaas. A trip into the Maloney Art Gallery, Father & Son, features Ken and Dean’s three-dimensional art that seems to come to life. With added light to the pieces, the scenes seem ever-changing, elusive, and surreal. The construction of the artworks uses a carving technique and creates an illusion of depth and reality.
Ken explains, “Over the past 18 years, I’ve done a huge collection of art pieces, and as Dean became an artist in his own rite, he developed a range of art pieces as well. The new concept came when Dean opened the gallery. We decided to develop a range of art together.”
“It’s a father and son working together on one art piece,” explains Dean. “We both carve it, we both paint it, and it will be signed ‘Ken and Dean Maloney’. For us, it works. It’s great to work together and create something special.”
