Connor Dillman is an artist from Los Angeles based in New York with a practice centered around painting, writing, and interviewing.
His work arises from private moments of observation, often sparked by visual incongruities noticed in everyday settings—he searches for mystery and ambivalence in the mundane.
But while his imagery is rooted in locatable firsthand experience, he prioritizes formal inquiry over pictorial resolution; exploring the dialectic between seeing and the materiality of paint is a core concern of his practice.
Extending his sensibility into collaborative dialogue, Connor hosts People Painting, a podcast of conversations with early career artists. The project functions as an open-source archive of creative support for his artistic community.
He has shown with ASC Gallery, Outhouse Gallery, and MokSpace in London, as well as Projects Kavel Rafferty in Margate. He recently completed a half-year residency at Studio West Arts in London and is working in residence at Vermont Studio Center through the end of 2026. He holds a BA in English Literature from Emory University and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art.
