Artwork Description
Full Title: Keys To Kalk Bay Entry To A Harbour
From a high vantage point, Kalk Bay unfolds between mountain and sea in a lively patchwork of roads, rooftops and coastal vegetation. The harbour forms the heart of the composition, while the railway and curving road lead the eye through the town towards the distant shoreline.
Kitty Dörje combines finely drawn black linework with broad areas of cobalt blue, turquoise, olive green and warm yellow. The clear, layered colours of the hand-pulled silkscreen process give 'Keys to Kalk Bay, Entry To A Harbour' a bold graphic quality, while the intricate details reward a closer look. Familiar landmarks are interpreted with warmth and character rather than strict realism.
Measuring 92 x 64 cm unframed, this substantial original silkscreen print is numbered 3 from a small edition of only 5. Its generous landscape format brings the colour and distinctive geography of the Cape Peninsula into a contemporary space.
