Art Story
A Canadian artist, celebrated for his vivid and unique works of art with an unshakable sense of place. He has developed a distinctive impressionistic style which captures the character of his environment. His work is straightforward and sincere. He paints what he knows and renders the beauty and magic of everyday life.
All his life Dylan Swan has used art to connect with the world and find his place in it. He studied experimental drawing and painting at OCAD where he graduated in 1990. He has since split his working time between painting and working as a Massage Therapist in a healthcare setting. The two occupations are mutually enriching. His art is informed by a judgement free and ethically focused sensibility while his therapeutic work is heightened by his creativity and expression.
Dylans work is a celebration of community. He paints from a place of personal connection, and common experiences. His work is an exploration of the beauty that exists in the ordinary. Those common encounters that bind us to our various communities is what drives his work, as he continues to use art to define his place in the world.
Dylan’s studio is curranty located in Bridgewater Nova Scotia. When he is not there you can find him working on building his home in the nearby countryside. His vision is to be living in a little cottage in the woods with his amazing wife and a cool studio up on the hill.
