The artwork “Bo Kaap,” created in 1964 by the artist James Yates, resides within the DinksFãStan Private Collection. Rendered in oil paint, this cityscape measures 45 x 60 cm and depicts scenery from Cape Town, also known as Kaapstad, South Africa. It is currently part of a private collection.
The artwork captures a vibrant and textured view of Bo Kaap, a historic neighborhood nestled in Cape Town. The composition highlights an array of multi-colored, closely packed houses, set against the majestic backdrop of Table Mountain. The brushwork conveys the lively and resilient spirit of the community, with vivid hues and visible texture illustrating both the buildings and the surrounding landscape. The detailing of the architecture and the arrangement of everyday life elements reflect the dynamic essence of the area.
