Fine Art Magazine April Edition

A R T I S T F E A T U R E D Y L A N I Z A A K R U N N I N G W I L D Dylan Izaak is renowned for his distinctive, whimsical style, and his unique slant on street scenes, monuments and characters offers an amusing and sometimes mischievous modern take on the ancient traditions and historic architecture of the capital. But with his new collection Dylan has forsaken the urban world for something completely different, taking us from the farmyards of England to the forests of India and the plains of the Serengeti and concentrating not on the architecture, but on the animals. Living as he does on a farm near Stratford-upon- Avon, Dylan is well versed in the ways of the residents – in fact before he gets into his studio in the morning he has to feed the pigs and let the chickens out so it was only a matter of time before these characterful creatures began to infiltrate his work. From here it was a natural progression to the wilder side of the animal kingdom, where the exotic shapes and colours of zebras and tigers proved irresistible to him. As with all of Dylan’s work, each piece is created with meticulous care and attention, but retains a strong sense of immediacy and spontaneity. Like the artist himself, these creatures are brimming with personality, humour and vivacity. This exuberant new collection represents an exciting opportunity to invest in a highly sought-after piece of artwork from one of the most inventive artists of his generation.
