RICKY DYALOYI, As we wait expectantly I
Mixed media on canvas, 150 x 100 cm
Ricky Dyaloyi’s paintings astutely and tenderly record the life of his surrounding community. He captures the energy of crowds and a vivid sense of the individuals within those multitudes, with their distinctive posture and demeanour, expressed with the most minimal of gestures. In his renderings of his fellow South Africans – ordinary citizens going about their daily lives – Dyaloyi gives us insight into their hopes, dreams, fears and longings – what it is to be human. His work reflects the artist’s deep empathy with humanity and encourages us to single out fellow humans in the crowd; to experience our own empathy.
