Bob Dylan, The Artist


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!
Better than anything your fat, ugly, poorly dressed ass could produce. His shit stains would be better than your writing.
It's a sure thing…I'd buy
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
Garbage. I wouldn't even consider that mediocre. But it's Bob Dylan. People are going to go see it.
What are your qualifications to judge art you fat fucking slob?
i think some artist Are fads like lady gaga but true artist can relate to people no matter how young or old.
Destiny and a naked soul.
BOOOOBBBBB DYLANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
why can't these already rich celebs keep their stupid hobbies to themselves and let other less unknowns have a chance
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
These paintings are great. He has a really good sense of color. Who knew?
uh, its horrible
that's cool. i like it.
perez you wouldn't recognize good art even if it it you in the face ok? who are you to judge? what you're artist now??? get out! go die in a corner! what a waste of life you are!
WOAH! HOW CAN YOU BE SO FUCKING BADLY INFORMED?!?!?!? THIS IS HIS SECOND ART SHOW AT THE HALCYON GALLERY! i CAN TELL CUZ' I WENT TO SEE HIS PAINTINGS THERE LIKE 2 YEARS AGO…. DUMBASS
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ur always a dick to him, and you look so stupid wearing all those ties in your v-day ad. ugly b*tch, you are.
amazing. his talent oozes out of every pore.
A lot of musicians also have some artistic talent. Creative expression expands.
moron
NOT the first show ever. Bob Dylan was seen in Chemnitz, Germany in 2007!
Just 2 sec. to google.
He's an artist? Cool!
this is old old old old old. bob has been painting for years and i've seen his work in several galleries across the uk, including harrods in london.
he's always been an artist you dick. go fuck off somewhere. this is better than anything you could ever do
art is subjective you assholes. Get over it and stop being such snobs.
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
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.
What's Marge Simpson doing with her blue-haired sister?
