Dalvin Byron
"Folie à Deux", Contemporary, Mannequin, Barbed Wire, Black, Oil Painting, 2024

2024

About the Item

Dalvin Byron’s “Folie à Deux” is a 36 x 36 x 2 inch oil painting on canvas. The image portrays two mannequin heads tightly bound together with barbed wire, their smooth, featureless faces partially obscured by vibrant red silk blindfolds. The silk drapes softly, its deep crimson hue contrasting starkly against the cold rigidity of the mannequins and the harsh metal bindings. Suspended in a black void, the composition feels both weightless and oppressive, evoking themes of silence, oppression, and forced unity. It is a continuation of the artist’s dream series. Dalvin Byron is a painter fascinated by the extraordinary contained within the ordinary. His work invites the viewer to slow down and interact with the beauty and detail within mundane objects. Inspired by the still-life painters of the Dutch Golden Age, he searches for hints of narrative and symbolism in the objects that he chooses to depict. While he treats each image that he makes as a technical challenge, Dalvin primarily views the act of painting as meditative; it’s a way he can invite viewers to seek peace in a chaotic world. Dalvin currently lives and works in Newton, Massachusetts where he teaches drawing and painting for middle and high school students at Newton Country Day School. He also taught art classes in Baltimore, Maryland, where he led a team of high school students in a summer mural and public art program. He received his BFA from Messiah University in 2016. He is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.
