Connor Dillman
About
Connor Dillman (b.1993) is an American artist based in London. Through a multidisciplinary practice centered around painting but inclusive of mixed media, creative writing, and photography, his work distills his embodied experience of everyday life into a visual language characterized by an air of intensified presence.
This ethos stems from his years of living in major metropolises across the world, which has made him especially attuned to the sensory overload of urban environments. His paintings serve as antidotes to such conditions, presenting compositions with an economy of structure that prioritizes only their most essential components—they’re analogues for meditation.
The source material that informs this work comes from a blend of firsthand sketching and photography, studies in fiction, and art historical research. These modes of inquiry root his imagery in carefully observed contemporary settings while coloring an always evolving vocabulary of imagined and abstracted forms.
