WHAT THE CRITICS SAY - BOB DYLAN

Without doubt one of the most important and influential cultural icons of a generation, Bob Dylan is not only an acclaimed singer, songwriter, film director , actor and radio broadcaster, but more recently his impact on the cultural world has transcended to the visual arts.

His prestigious collection of limited edition art entitled The Drawn Blank Series gives insight into the mind of a man who has spent a lifetime portraying his musings of the world through the arts.

This expressive collection captures chance encounters and uniquely combines the everyday with the extraordinary and the intimate personal moments of his life. Always restless and always on the move, his drawings portray a life on the road and invite us all to view the world through the eyes of a modern day Master.

Rachel Campbell-Johnston of The Times explains how: “As you flick through his pictures, you can feel [Dylan] making sense of his surroundings, almost as a blind man might find his bearings through touch”.

Through distorted perspectives, heaving horizons, anonymous subjects and disconnected spaces Dylan expertly imbues his detached and imaginative drawings with a sentiment of the familiar; through line, colour, tone and depth he draws order from the chaos that surrounds him.

"There are giant figures in art who are sublimely good—Mozart, Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Shakespeare, Dickens. Dylan ranks alongside these artists." – Howard Sounes, author of Down The Highway, The Life of Bob Dylan.
