Shipping Info

Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout.

When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight.
On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

Description

“””Rooi Blokke, Wit Blokke, Blou Blokke””
(Red Blocks, White Blocks, Blue Blocks)

A quick, common reference, people use in certain areas on the Cape Flats to point out what housing block they come from. Blocks of housing-flats are painted different colours and is an easy reference as to what “”Block”” you are living on.

These cheap, low cost, dull-colored housing Blocks are in stark contrast to the beautiful, bright, colour-soaked homes of the Bo-Kaap.

This was the 3rd and final painting I started in Leipzig, Germany and completed in Cape Town. Feeling a wee bit homesick and nostalgic at the time I started this piece in Germany, it was just natural to paint what feels comfortable and homely to me.”
