Moyo
Albert
Moyo’s art reflects an unusually developed eye for form and
color. His work is inspired by everyday life - people on the
streets, the urban landscape, and relationships. The figurative
paintings capture light and energy. Moyo’s great color
vocabulary quickens the viewer’s pulse. He makes the
commonplace beautiful. Like a contemporary impressionist
painter, he finds beauty in movement. Moyo captures people in
the routine of daily life. He depicts work, relationships,
competition and natural landscape. His figures are wrapped in
sublime yellow ochre light. Everything is moving; people are
interacting and enjoying themselves. Moyo celebrates life and
people. Born in 1979 in Bulawayo,
Zimbabwe, Moyo has studied art at Mzilikazi Art Centre and is now
collected around the globe. His redemptive paintings reflect a
global humanity by foregrounding the human spirit while forgoing
issues of race and gender. He paints figures in harmony; figures
who represent an anonymous global everyday person. Low on irony
and high on commonality, Moyo’s entrancing work shares
life’s pleasures.
