NICK DILLON
POP ARTIST ENGLAND
Born and raised in Manchester and now based in the South of England, Nick creates distinctive hand-painted works that draw inspiration from vibrant classic and, contemporary pop culture. Each piece is entirely original — crafted to capture the individuality of every subject, ensuring every piece and commission is truly one of a kind.
Working exclusively by hand, Dillon rejects mechanical reproduction in favour of a more personal and tactile process — just the artist, the canvas, and the paintbrush. This dedication to craftsmanship and authenticity defines the unique energy behind every creation.
His work has been exhibited in both London and Manchester, including a successful collaborations. Notable commissions include key installations at Hotel Football and The Bishop’s Blaize, both located near Old Trafford — a subtle homage to his Manchester roots.
In 2016, Nick presented his debut solo exhibition, “Artists and Albums,” in collaboration with The Underdog Gallery, London Bridge(predecessor of WILD BEAST ART) . Featuring over 40 original works, the show received international acclaim, with collectors acquiring pieces from across the globe.

DAVID BOWIE – ALADDIN SANE
One of the most recognisable images in music history, reimagined through Dillon’s signature text-based technique. Thousands of individually hand-painted “BOWIE” motifs combine to reveal the iconic Aladdin Sane portrait, creating an image that shifts between abstraction and realism depending on the viewer’s distance.
This is the third Bowie work Dillon has produced, with each piece exploring a different process, composition and visual language. While the subject remains familiar, the execution is entirely unique — transforming a legendary album cover into a contemporary artwork that rewards closer inspection.
A truly stand out piece for all Bowie - iconic music and pop art fans.
