About "Reflections, Part 22"
ON SHOW AT THE KAROO ART HOTEL, BARRYDALE.
This artwork is part of a collection called 'Reflections', and mostly, it's an honest reflection of where I am right now, of the roots I have grown and the stillness I have found within. I feel like we're really just these tiny beings in the greatness of it all, and we're all trying to find that thing that connects us. I find that oneness in the natural world. It brings me such indescribable solace that the only way I can share it is to paint it.
Everybody's so busy making statements these days... but I just want to create something unpretentious, to represent life within the frame, and to create something accessible. Because I believe that art should be accessible. Everyone knows a flower. Everyone knows a fish. A thing of beauty is a thing of beauty.
I hope that the stillness I find in creating these pieces is the stillness you find when you gaze at them.

About Steven
Steven Ryalls is a painter and a sculptor. His latest collection of oil on canvas is an exploration of the stillness we find within, and the sheer beauty of its simplicity.
The mesmerising underwater worlds of fish and the irrepressible allure of flowers are the central stories in this collection. 'Reflections' is about life up close, and Ryalls' own personal journey to grow as a painter in the dreamy playfulness of light, liquid movement, and those moments that hold us in the present.
In a move away from the strong lines, graphic styles, and social commentary of his previous work, Ryalls has grown roots and found solace in the natural world. "That's what I want to share now," he says. "I want to create art that takes you to a quiet place."
Ryalls graduated from the National School of Arts in the mid-80s, and has studied under some of the most celebrated names in South African art.
He was just 24 when his work was first exhibited at the Trent Reed Gallery of Contemporary Art in Johannesburg, and has sold his bronze sculptures and paintings to both local and international buyers.
