Ronan Dillon is a Dublin born artist, designer and curator living on the west coast of Ireland. Coming from an urban upbringing and a design background, Dillon is drawn to the inconspicuous artistry of the rural. Here, he has utilised his outsider’s eyes to capture the wildness of the land, through a new and daring perspective.

He is co-founder and curator of Glovebox, an occasional art gallery and online art store.

He also curates ‘Radical Ruralism’ an online collection of contemporary art with a rural regard.

He is also co-founder of design studio me&him&you where he has worked on art and design projects for organisations including SFMOMA, Fringe Festival, Jameson, Facebook, Metropolis Festival, The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland and The Science Gallery.

Some artworks currently available at Unruly Gallery, Amsterdam, Glovebox, Dublin and Affenfaust Galerie in Hamburg, Germany

He is available for commercial and artistic projects.
