Branching out, we see.

Bob Dylan's first ever art show will open this Saturday at the Halycon Gallery in London.

The paintings on canvas were based on drawings and sketches Bob made while on the road between 1989 and 1992. He says of his art, "I just draw what's interesting to me, and then I paint it."

The show, which includes landscapes and personal scenes, will run through April 10.

Based on the little bit we can see, he's not too shabby — but not too amazing either.

What do U think?

      He's Bob Dylan - doesn't matter if he's good or not and actually from what I see it ain't terrible!



    2. 2

      Better than anything your fat, ugly, poorly dressed ass could produce. His shit stains would be better than your writing.



    3. 3

      It's a sure thing…I'd buy



    4. 4

      Actually, would probably like the artwork better than his music, LOL!

      wow! amazing!! I am not particularily a fan of him but seriously, those are amazing.. no other words for me. I am shocked that this came from him. if i could afford tat art (which I likely cannot) i would totally buy it!

      Perez your evaluation of Dylan's painting was lifted out of a real news report that is several months old from a private showing of his work. Plagerizing douche



    7. 7

      Garbage. I wouldn't even consider that mediocre. But it's Bob Dylan. People are going to go see it.



    8. 8

      SUCKS BALLS!!!! I'VE SEEN TONS OF FAMOUS IMPRESSONIST ART. THIS IS VERY AVG TO SAY THE LEAST. HE'S JUST USING HIS CELEBRITY TO SELL ART TO DUMB FOOLS WHO WOULD BUY IT. WASTE YOUR MONEY IF YOU WANT. NEXT.



    11. 11

      why can't these already rich celebs keep their stupid hobbies to themselves and let other less unknowns have a chance



    12. 12

      pretty pathetic, only reason he is able to exhibit his work is because of his name. he could have done stick figures and they would have put that crap up. this is work is pretty close to stick figures



    13. 13

      These paintings are great. He has a really good sense of color. Who knew?



    14. 14

      uh, its horrible



    15. 15

    16. 16

      A lot of musicians also have some artistic talent. Creative expression expands.



    21. 21

      Just 2 sec. to google.



    22. 22

      He's an artist? Cool! :)



    23. 23

      art is subjective you assholes. Get over it and stop being such snobs.



    26. 26

      Not it's not. Washington green have sold his work since the middle of 2008!!! He's already had two exhibitions with them AND castle galleries. I should know, I sold his work in one of the galleries



    27. 27

      Love Bob Dylan. If the exhibit were to come to the US, I'd go see it. Art is subjective, and not everyone will like or love it. Just like the man himself, some people love him, some people hate him, but there's really no in-between.

      Re: kahlo – It sure is; but with Dylan's name on it, it will still be worth plenty at some point.
