About Bo - Kaap

The artwork, titled “Bo – Kaap,” was created by James Yates around 1963. The medium used is oil, and the dimensions are 50 by 70 centimeters. This piece resides in a private collection.

The artwork portrays a street scene in Bo-Kaap, a historic and culturally rich neighborhood. The depiction captures a moment in time, with rustic buildings lining the street, detailed with weathered facades and traditional architectural features. Several utility poles with overhead wires are visible, illustrating the blend of history and modernity. The street is animated with a few figures going about their daily lives, and parked cars that reflect the era. A vibrant cart filled with what appear to be flowers stands out, adding a splash of color against the earth-toned buildings. The sky, painted with various shades of blue and gray, suggests an overcast day, contributing to the atmospheric and slightly nostalgic mood of the artwork.
