DYLAN WALDRON | Green Acorns in an Oak Bowl
Signed 'DW' lower left
Acrylic on Board
17.5 x 23.5 cms / 7 x 9¼ inches
In Dylan Waldron’s garden stands a mature oak grown from an acorn planted by the artist and his wife over thirty years ago, from which the acorns placed within the bowl were later gathered. Some years afterwards, Waldron encountered a hand-turned oak bowl near his studio, its material directly recalling the tree he had observed over several decades. The conjunction of these elements establishes a closed sequence in which an acorn gives rise to a tree, the tree yields timber, the timber is shaped into a bowl and the bowl is used to contain acorns once again.
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.
