Kalk Bay

A densely populated harbour scene rendered with expressive immediacy, depicting fishing boats, bustling waterfront activity, and figures engaged in daily maritime labour. The composition combines multiple viewpoints within a single frame, layering boats, buildings, and people across the canvas with dynamic brushwork. A vibrant palette of blues, reds, yellows and purples creates atmospheric depth, whilst the elevated perspective captures both the working life of the fishing community and the dramatic mountain backdrop. Le Roux’s acrylic technique here demonstrates her characteristic courage with colour to convey the emotional vitality of South African coastal life.
