Dylan Wilde blends dreamlike landscapes and domestic motifs, exploring intimacy and distance through experimentation, process and painting. Observing peripheral phenomena along California’s coast, Wilde documents the mundane, imagining an idealized landscape amongst a crumbling world—navigating queer life with intentionality, dreaming of utopia and finding beauty in quiet moments.
Born in Orange County, California in 1987, Wilde was raised in San Diego from the age of three. He now lives in Nipomo, CA with his partner Alexia, her partner Tiana and their three dogs, Samson, Pickle Chips, and Drusilla. He holds a B.F.A. in Studio Art from the University of California, San Diego.
Psssst! I have an illustration and design practice here.
