Dylan DeWitt

Dylan DeWitt investigates the unusual, the everyday and the puzzling territories in between. His experiential works aim to provoke heightened perceptual states in viewers, posing questions about perception and attention, how we decide which parts of the world are significant and what counts as an image. Topics of interest include optics, color perception and pattern recognition, as well as philosophies of mind and meaning.  

DeWitt holds a BFA in Illustration from RISD and an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University. His work has appeared in New American Paintings, Floorr Magazine and Art Maze Mag. He has been a resident at the Jentel Foundation, Vermont Studio Center, Hambidge Center and Yale/Norfolk. In addition to teaching at RISD, he has taught drawing and painting at the University of Arkansas School of Art and Hartford Art School. He lives and works in Hartford, CT.
