Bob Dylan Paintings to Exhibit in Denmark Museum

Dylan says that he has always painted and drawn but nobody has paid much interest until lately. He began to show his fine art in 2007 at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz Museum in Chemnitz, Germany. In that exhibit he showed works from his Drawn Blank Series.

His painting style is similar to the Fauves and other European painters of the 1920’s and 30’s. One obvious influence on Dylan’s work is Henri Matisse. In his paintings Dylan uses color expressively and line is used liberally throughout as he depicts landscapes, still-lifes and figures. Dylan says he paints things that interest him.

The Copenhagen exhibit will open in Autumn of 2010 and consist of at least 30 canvasses from his Brazil series, watercolors from his The Drawn Blank Series and as many as thirty recent acrylic paintings.

Dylan also has a new album set to be released on October 13th. All proceeds from his new album Christmas in the Heart will be donated to hunger relief organizations. Earlier this year Dylan’s album Together Through Life hit the top of the album charts in Britain and the US.
