In brief: Dyman Gallery is one of Stellenbosch’s leading contemporary art galleries, representing established and emerging Southern African artists from our premises at 19 Ryneveld Street. We have been part of Stellenbosch’s cultural landscape for over 30 years, offering original artworks, private viewings, and expert art advisory services.
A Contemporary Art Gallery in the Heart of Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is one of South Africa’s most culturally rich towns — home to world-class wine estates, historic Cape Dutch architecture, and a thriving arts scene. Within this landscape, Dyman Gallery has established itself as a destination for collectors and art lovers seeking the finest contemporary Southern African art.
Located at 19 Ryneveld Street in the town centre, Dyman Gallery occupies a beautifully restored space that complements the work it presents. Whether you are a seasoned collector or encountering original South African art for the first time, the gallery offers a welcoming, unhurried environment for discovery.
What Makes Dyman Gallery Distinct
Not all art galleries in Stellenbosch are alike. Dyman Gallery is focused specifically on contemporary Southern African painting, sculpture, and works on paper — with a curatorial emphasis on artists who have built sustained, critically recognised careers.
Our gallery programme spans solo and group exhibitions across the year, complemented by participation in major art fairs. Dyman Gallery is the official carrier partner for the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, one of the most significant art events on the African continent. This relationship gives our represented artists — and our collectors — direct access to an international platform.
Our Artists
Dyman Gallery represents a carefully selected roster of Southern African artists working across a range of media and styles. Our programme includes figurative painters exploring identity and belonging, abstractionists working with colour and form, and artists whose practice engages directly with the South African landscape and its histories.
Artists represented by or exhibited through Dyman Gallery include Mandlenkosi Mavengere, Adriaan Diedericks, Hennie Niemann Jnr, San-Maré Raubenheimer, Rentia Retief, Oliver Scarlin, Mark Swart, and many others. Each artist brings a distinctive voice to the gallery’s programme.
