The Cape Gallery seeks to expose Fine Art that is rooted in the African Tradition, work which carries the unique cultural stamp of their continent yet can touch the imagination of others who view it.
The Cape Gallery is set in the heart of the old city off the Church Street walking mall, flanked by the colourful Georgian and Dutch facades built by the 18th and 19th century settlers. Behind these facades are some of the oldest and prestigious galleries, antique shops, and auction houses in Cape Town.
Central to the tradition of South African painting is the abiding love of the land. Early Cape painters were 'reporters' who described the topography, flora and fauna of this fascinating land, a conservative approach which is still favoured by the gallery's clients today.
Recently the emergence of the vibrant street art has added an essentially African character to the work on display.
