Dylan Bell is a British artist who lives and works in the United Kingdom. Born in 1990, he studied fine art at university before devoting himself full time to painting. His practice centres on oil on linen, applied in thin veils that allow the weave of the cloth to remain visible. This restraint gives each canvas a quiet luminosity, as if the image has been discovered rather than imposed.

Bell’s subject matter shifts between coastal light, urban dusk and the human figure caught in moments of reflection. He begins with photographs taken on long walks, then edits the scene down to essential shapes and tones. Translucent layers of umber, ultramarine and soft violet are built up over weeks, creating depth without heavy texture. The final surface appears almost breathless, a balance of precision and suggestion that invites the viewer to complete the narrative.

Recent bodies of work have focused on harbours at twilight, where moored boats and distant street lamps glow against failing sky. These paintings record not only a place but also a sensation: the hush that settles when wind drops and water turns glassy. Bell exhibits regularly throughout the UK and has placed work in private collections across Europe and North America via Saatchi Art. When he is not in the studio, he continues to walk coastal paths and city edges, gathering notes and snapshots that will feed the next canvas. By offering atmosphere ahead of detail, Bell reminds us that memory and landscape are equally fluid, shaped as much by mood as by fact.
