Bragg Apartment, New York City (2008)
Signed Print

Dylan's 2008 apartment scene employs bold, expressive brushstrokes that bring vibrancy to an intimate interior setting. The interplay of bright yellows and reds against contrasting dark outlines, combined with a deliberately tilted perspective creates a visual tension that draws viewers into the space, as if we are looking up into the room from a bed or sofa. His Abstract Expressionist influences become evident in how colour and form convey feeling beyond mere representation.

The work emerges from sketches made during Dylan's travels and daily life, rendered in a style that successfully merges observation with interpretation. The apartment becomes more than architectural space - it transforms into a meditation on the places where we live, create, and remember. Dylan's choice to return repeatedly to the same interior subjects reveals his understanding that domestic spaces hold profound significance in shaping identity and experience over time and come to mean different things to us at different points in our lives. He invites contemplation of how our environments reflect and influence our inner lives, turning specific locations into symbols of universal, shared human experiences.
