Anniesland Court
, 2024Anniesland Court by Dylan Bell is a striking architectural artwork that captures the geometric beauty of Glasgow’s tallest listed building. Measuring 59 x 42 cm, this limited edition screen print focuses on the iconic ‘sky bridge’ that connects the utility tower, highlighting the repetitive patterns and stark shapes that arise from urban architecture. The flat satin blue sky dominates the composition, providing a calm contrast to the monochrome depiction of the tower, which is accented with splashes of color in the margin, reflecting Bell’s meticulous layering technique.
Anniesland Court, completed in 1968, stands as a significant example of brutalist architecture in Scotland, and Bell’s work pays homage to its structural grandeur. The screenprint is a celebration of the patterns created by modern urban landscapes, drawing attention to the geometry that defines the cityscape. The precision of the spraypaint and water-based screenprinting inks gives the piece a clean, modern aesthetic, while the bold blue sky adds a decorative touch that makes the artwork both minimalist and visually compelling. Dylan Bell, an artist known for his layered stencil and spraypaint techniques, brings his love for urban environments and architecture to life in Anniesland Court. This piece is ideal for those who appreciate modern architecture and urban landscapes, and it would make a perfect addition to a living room, office, or gallery space where its geometric clarity and bold colors can be fully appreciated.

Biography
Dylan grew up and studied in New Zealand, where he created large ‘paste-up’ pieces and developed a love for the graphic qualities of photocopy, and screen-printing. He moved to Scotland and taught in the Lothians before leaning back towards developing his own practice. More recently his small batch, hand-produced pieces have gained a pop vibrancy, both in colour and imagery. Current works predominately use a variety of over-printing techniques with stencil blocked spray-paint as a base. Spraypaint is his number one medium, offering endless possibilities for creative layering, especially in conjunction with silkscreens.
His collectable numbered editions (on paper), the stencilled and paste-up street art, and re-worked vintage one-offs that he produces cover a wide range of subject matter and themes. He uses images of well-known locations, architecture, nature, pop-culture, typography, street art, and vintage magazines/comics to make graphically hand cut pieces for his collectors, and the public. His works are easily recognised by the colour key in the margin, which show the individual colours used and number of layers that have been built up.
“My mind breaks everything into a series of block-layered colours. I enjoy focusing on the graphic geometries of images, their registry points, and look at all compositions as a series of colour strata. Collating, and playing around with; old postcards, vintage art, comics, and pop culture imagery, gives me a starting point for compositions, a place to drop my craft-knife into, old-school analogue hand-cut stencils”.
