District 6

A densely composed urban vista rendered in bold linocut, depicting a layered townscape with prominent buildings, church spires and architectural forms rising against a textured sky. The composition employs strong contrasts between black and white, with hatching and linear marks creating depth and movement across the crowded scene. The work conveys a sense of inhabited vitality and social complexity. Created in 1978, this print exemplifies Boonzaier’s continued engagement with South African subject matter through the expressive possibilities of relief printing.
