'Flamingoes' - Neon Pink Original (2020) Printmaking by Dylan Bell (Bells Galleries)

Dylan Bell, a contemporary artist born in New Zealand and currently based in Scotland, found joy in deconstructing images into layers of vibrant color blocks. His exploration delves into the intricate possibilities offered by spray paint—ranging from delicate dustings and feathered fades to bold opacity and the striking intensity of fluorescent hues.

Amidst the challenges posed by lockdown restrictions, Dylan has adapted his artistic process, turning to stenciling to achieve the nuanced detail he typically achieves through screen-printing. This innovative approach has allowed him to maintain his creative momentum despite the closure of printmaking facilities.

Inspired by concepts of light, perspective, and personal interpretation, Dylan's artistic vision encompasses a diverse array of themes, including pathways, gateways, personal narratives, and the collective tapestry of social history. He skillfully weaves these motifs into his unique creations, infusing each piece with depth and resonance.

Driven by a passion for exploration and a keen interest in the intricacies of human perception, Dylan continues to push the boundaries of his artistic practice. Through his dynamic and thought-provoking artworks, he invites viewers to embark on a journey of discovery, where layers of meaning unfold in vibrant hues and intricate patterns.
