A summary of the exhibition from the Halcyon Gallery reads, “Comprising 97 original paintings, this new body of work captures Dylan’s intimate perspective on the world, blending storytelling, memory, and spontaneity.

“Akin to his previous series, Drawn Blank, these new works use original sketches created between 2021 and 2022 as their foundation. These drawings were then painted over with vibrant colours and expressive brushwork.”

A sampling of Dylan’s artwork can be viewed on the Halcyon Gallery online and one of the paintings in the exhibition is highlighted below.

Bob Dylan Says He Loses Track Of Time When Creating His Artwork

In a description of his artistic process on his Halycon Gallery Point Blank exhibition page, Bob Dylan is quoted as saying, “What would I draw? Well, I guess I would start with the typewriter, a crucifix, a rose, pencils and knives and pins, empty cigarette boxes.

“I’d lose track of time completely. An hour or two could go by and it would seem like only a minute. Not that I thought that I was any great drawer, but I did feel like I was putting an orderliness to the chaos around.”

Dylan, of course, is legendary for his music dating back to the early 1960s with such classic songs as “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Like a Rolling Stone,” “My Back Pages,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “The Times They Are A Changin,’” “Tangled Up in Blue” and dozens more — some of which were performed by Timothée Chalamet in A Complete Unknown.

Released on Dec. 25, 2024, A Complete Unknown was a high-profile film over awards season, earning multiple honors including eight Oscar nominations including Best Actor for Chalamet, Best Director for James Mangold and Best Picture.

A Complete Unknown is currently streaming on Hulu after ending its theatrical run and Dylan, who turns 84 on May 24, is currently on the road with his Rough and Rowdy Ways Worldwide Tour.

Dylan’s art exhibition, Bob Dylan – Point Blank, opens Friday at the Halcyon Gallery in London.
