Dylan Bellamy is an artist out of Kamloops, British Columbia. Mainly working with paint, etching and drawing, he often composes scenes of people in colourful, timeless attire going about day-to-day tasks such as walking, riding a horse, fighting, working, etc. Bellamy is currently working on a deeper faith project as he stitches together a world of these emotive characters. The world entirely can be referred to as Both Planes and the first chapter is entitled The Giant’s Gate.

         He invites the viewer to engage with the colourful, unique iconography to address complex scenarios for citizens of Ida’s Plane. Several of the characters are defined by archetypes found in his family, common families or pop-media. Bellamy’s interest in this world is satisfied by the interest in creating a tool. His current practice is meant to be a personal guide for navigating his life around him.
