"District Six" is an oil painting by South African artist Gregoire Boonzaier. The artwork depicts a scene of ramshackle houses, with a heavy, overcast sky providing a somber backdrop. The loose brushstrokes and expressive color palette contribute to the painting's sense of immediacy and emotion. Boonzaier, known for his landscapes and depictions of South African life, used his art to address social issues, making "District Six" a poignant commentary on the displacement and hardship faced by the community.
