Minimalist Dylan (Behind the Broken Mirror)

Minimalist Dylan 
(Behind the Broken Mirror)

Minimalism has many forms and objectives, in art and in life.
In my fascination with faces taking a minimalist approach has to do
with seeing if one can produce a recognizable image using a minimal number 
of lines, shapes or forms to capture something of its essence
and transmit it visually.

Dylanesque, Vol. Two

Picture of the Day
Dylanesque, Volume Two
Acrylic and latex on panel, 12"x 24"

How does an artist explain what he or she is striving to achieve?
We're not always entirely sure ourselves.
My Dylan paintings, now more than 40, come from a deep fascination 
with the manner in which his own features have evolved.
And since all painting is a form of illusion, like Dylan himself, 
it is fun to see how many ways a conglomeration of shapes, colors
 and forms can be assembled to suggest the image of the icon.
Perhaps this is what the director of He's Not There was striving to produce.

Dylan Discovers a New Way of Seeing

There are a number of iconic Dylan images based on photos 
from the 60's. This was based on a Freevector.com image
(copyright creative commons) that was itself based on the
image of Dylan that appears on the cover of Tarantula.

The concept for this painting emerged from a series of drawings
in which a Dali image served as catalyst. The Dali image is 
of a mask that has two or three long boards projecting through 
the left eye socket. It seemed to me that the boards to become
a spear of light, hence this evolved to be my second iteration
of The Man Who Knew Too Much.

The De Chirico-like skewing of perspective is of a piece with
altered realities and surrealistic dreams.

Rolling Thunder Revue days

What I find especially interesting is doing a painting of someone who has
so obviously painted his face, as Dylan would do during the 
Rolling Thunder Revue.
