Connor Dillman (b.1993) is an Angeleno artist based in London with a practice centered around painting but inclusive of creative writing and podcasting.
His work explores the potency of solitude—private, everyday moments of quiet introspection inform his small-scale paintings characterized by their meditative mood and use of isolated forms occupying visually concise compositions.
While his images are rooted in documentation of daily life and firsthand observation, they also engage with painting-as-subject by raising formal questions around color and the relationship between painting and drawing. This allows them to oscillate freely between referential and abstracted approaches to figuration, prioritizing visual unity first and foremost.
Connor has recently shown with Outhouse Gallery and MokSpace in London, as well as Projects Kavel Rafferty in Margate. He holds a BA in English Literature from Emory University and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art.
