Diane Victor is an artist from South Africa who has gained critical acclaim for her idiosyncratic visual language. She creates profound work by drawing on modern and ancient sources with equal skill. Her exquisite, detailed drawings and prints establish her as masterful in her chosen mediums. Victor's artwork style and medium involve using charcoal and chalk pastel on paper to present a critique on history, politics, and current socio-cultural discourses in South Africa. One of her iconic works is a large-scale drawing from 2001 titled "There's Fire in the Thatch," which presents a surreal group portrait of battered and bandaged figures floating over burning farmland. The title serves as a caution. Victor includes herself among the group of figures - denuded and carried in a 'pietà-like pose' akin to Hector Peterson and other martyrs. Victor uses antique and contemporary visual codes from media, mythology, and art history to construct a contemporary economy of meaning.
