Signed 'DW' (lower left)
Dated September 2010 (verso)Acrylic on Board
17 x 22.5 cms / 6¾ x 8¾ inches
A Gourd presents a single yellow gourd placed horizontally on a narrow ledge. The fruit’s bulbous form tapers into a slender neck, with a long, curved stem, its green surface contrasting with the saturated yellow of the body. Subtle variations in colour describe the skin, from warm ochre tones to cooler green marks around the scar. Dylan Waldron painted A Gourd from a specimen grown in his own garden, continuing a recurring practice of working from familiar, cultivated subjects.
Dylan Waldron is a British artist known for his meticulous technique and finely detailed paintings. He studied at Stourbridge College of Art and later earned his degree in Art & Design from Wolverhampton Polytechnic in 1976. Since then, he has pursued a full-time career as a painter, exhibiting widely in the UK and internationally.
Waldron's artistic process is deeply rooted in traditional methods, utilising water-based media such as acrylic, gouache and watercolour. He achieves remarkable depth by carefully applying layers of transclucent glazes, giving his paintings a distinctive, highly detailed quality.
Spanning still-life compositions, landscapes, domestic interiors and portraits, Dylan is predominantly influenced by 17th-century Spanish painters, capturing a sense of austerity while highlighting the sensual beauty of his selected subject matter.
