London galleryshow by bob dylan paintings

Bob Dylan on Canvas” exhibit will feature a series of paintings based on sketches that the troubadour made while on the road from 1989 through ‘92. (That’s around the time of the Dylan & the Dead album, Oh Mercy, and Under the Red Sky.)

In typical Bob Dylan modesty, the artist had this to say:

“I just draw what’s interesting to me, and then I paint it,” said Dylan. “I’m not trying to make social comment or fulfill somebody’s vision and I can find subject matter anywhere. I guess in some way that comes out of the folk world that I came up in.”


These acrylic on canvas paintings are, evidently, the first of their kind in the long line of various mediums adopted by Dylan. They’re really good, too!

Just because we love him, let’s listen to Bob Dylan doing “Moonshiner“, one of the best songs








"I just draw what's interesting to me, and then I paint it," Dylan said in a statement.

"I'm not trying to make social comment or fulfil somebody's vision and I can find subject matter anywhere. I guess in some way that comes out of the folk world that I came up in."

Dylan has "definitely got a style of his own," gallery president Paul Green told media during a preview on Wednesday.
