Dylan Waldron - Studio Practice
 

Dylan Waldron is one of those extremely rare contemporary artists who produce works of the utmost modernity, which paradoxically are securely anchored in the traditions of the past. This is as true of his subjects and compositions as it is of his techniques. In all of them I recognise qualities which are unashamedly Old-Masterly, not only in their meticulous preparation and execution (what we once proudly referred to as craftsmanship) but also in their unembarrassed homage to the greatest painters in the pantheon.

Such comparisons with the old (and modern) masters are among the greatest tributes any artist can be paid. Dylan Waldron's achievement has been to draw without equivocation on the heritage of the past and yet create vibrant and compelling images that could belong only to the present.
