Dylan Rapillard b.1979  is a visual artist from The Bahamas and Switzerland.

Rapillards primary focus over the last three years  has been creating  three separate series of works.  

“Quantum objects”, a  series of works using common craft , industrial, household and found materials to create kinetic sculptures.  Rapillard asks  the viewer to interact or “create” the work as opposed to solely looking at it.   These pieces are small, colorful and toy-like in nature beckoning the inner child in the observer.    

“Keep to the center”, a series of  balancing sculptures created as a subtle reminder to stay in mental and physical equilibrium. That no matter how large or irregular an object is, there remains a center on which it balances perfectly without force.  

 “Paradox of the potted plant”  These oil paintings are still lifes of potted plants and flowers painted in a deconstructed expressionist fashion. The body of work  is an allegory of the artist's existence, among others,  being radically changed from “life as we knew it” due to the recent pandemic.  

Previous work has been described as a juxtaposition and merging of painterly styles and philosophies with a primary focus on current social issues ranging from the use of the internet and social media, apathy in society, perspective within the human condition and the memento mori.

Rapillard has created a variety of work including painting, sculpture, textile design, printmaking, mixed media, murals, installations, furniture and  set design.
