Notes
Born in 1918 in Pietermaritzburg, Errol Boyley was a painter of landscapes, still life, seascapes, figures and wildlife, sketching in the Zululand Lowveld, working primarily in watercolour and oil. He was mainly a self-taught artist but attended the Natal Technical College in the early 1940's. During the Second World War he joined the Natal Field Artillery and later moved to Knysna where he was particularly influenced by artist WG Wiles. In 1954 he lived in Johannesburg where he held numerous one-man exhibitions by invitation as well as being prominently featured in many group exhibitions. Amongst his most important exhibitions was his first solo show hosted by Herbert Evans Gallery in Johannesburg. The artist was represented by Pretoria Art Museum and the University of Stellenbosch.
