Dylan Coates is a London based artist working primarily within the realms of moving image and video installation. His work is often highly personal and semi-autobiographical, holding context of memory, narrative and its relationship to visual grammar and film language while exploring themes reflecting the sensitivity and darkness of the human psyche.
