Ricky Dyaloyi

From a young age, Ricky Dyaloyi felt inspired to draw and sketch the vibrant community and life that surrounded him in the township. His creativity and love for the arts was encouraged and nurtured by his parents during his adolescent years and by 1988, at age fourteen, he was attending part-time art classes at CAP (Community Arts Project). From this training he was propelled to participate in workshops and exhibitions.

Dyaloyi's imagery and thematic evolved around the time of South Africa�s first democratic elections a momentous period in South Africa's history where there was an influx of discourse and exchange between all South African artists in the country. His oeuvre therefore fits into a broader genre of South African painting, which has its roots in the Thupelo programme a workshop that encouraged artistic growth by exchanging ideas, experiences, techniques and disciplines within a shared space or studio. The programme started in the 1980s in Johannesburg and later was brought to Cape Town in the 1990s.

Dyaloyi's style of painting reflects ordinary citizens going about their daily lives, rendered in heightened colours to reveal the effervescent quality of the community and people with whom he lives. With an uncanny determination, Dyaloyi aims to unravel the simple mysteries of the human condition through his medium of choice - oil paint.
