JOSEPH DILNOT
Growing up living between the English Channel and the South Downs National Park, Dilnot draws great inspiration from the natural world. Elements of this are blended with references to history, myth and personal memories. Dilnot depicts landscapes, often inhabited by journeying, solitary figures placed into unremembered pasts. Lost in unnerving landscapes, they pursue answers to unknown questions, suggesting allegories for the contemporary condition. Dilnot’s paintings explore grief but firmly hold on to a sense of wonder, hope and lightness.
