Ricky Dyaloyi paints in a sophisticated, restrained palette. His images are more than simple snapshots of township life as they explore the various predicaments of contemporary African society, specifically as he observes it in his community. Using materials that often reflect and echo his surroundings, he is fond of working on rough, untreated canvas, occasionally mixing his paint with sand and dust. From his early childhood days in Gugulethu, Cape Town, Dyaloyi, has shown an interest in art. During the 1990s Dyaloyi was a participant in the Thupelo programme. The ideas, experiences and techniques that he was exposed to in this shared working space would have a far-reaching influence on his work.
