"Much like Dorian Grey’s portrait, Instagram and Snapchat have “muddied the boundary between art and life, aesthetics and ethics.” Remi Dalton's Dream House painting series depicts the refuge of a contemporary romantic hero who isolates themselves in a space halfway between the digital and physical world. Missed notifications, 70's decor and meme culture litter these intensely chromatic paintings. This body of work explores issues of freedom and surveillance, isolation and connection and love and safety.

Another component to Dream House can be found online. The artist created a Youtube series entitled Painting for Pleasure, which documents the conception and execution of the paintings and exhibits complementary video pieces." Remi Dalton
