JOSEPH DILNOT
Joseph Dilnot (British, b.1997) paints intuitively to explore layered subject matter creating a personal mythology and symbolism, in which imagined worlds, momentary insights and reflections on personal experiences are condensed into lyrical and enigmatic paintings. Growing up and living between the English Channel and the South Downs National Park, Dilnot draws great inspiration from the natural world. Blending these with reference to history, myth and folklore Dilnot depicts landscapes often inhabited by wandering, solitary figures. Exploring a range of emotional states such as wonder, grief and isolation these protagonists seem to be in some sort of quest for answers to unknown questions and invite multiple readings of his paintings. Largely self taught, Dilnot works in a studio at the bottom of a garden, enjoying the frogs chorus in warmer months as well as regular visits from the local fox.
