FANS of a music legend are being invited to pick up copies of his autographed artwork at a Chester gallery.
Following worldwide critical acclaim and rising demand for Bob Dylan’s The Drawn Blank Series, staff at Washington Green Fine Art Publishing will present a newly created collection from the artist on Saturday, May 22.
The pieces will be available at various locations across the region, including Castle Galleries Chester in St Michael’s Row.
This 2010 collection from The Drawn Blank Series features new limited edition graphics, each personally signed by Bob Dylan, taken from drawings he created while on the road from 1989 to 1992.
Spokesman Sarah Orton said: “While Bob Dylan has been a committed visual artist for more than four decades.
“The Drawn Blank Series has cast a vibrant new light on the singular creativity of one of the world’s most important and influential cultural figures.
“These expressive works capture Dylan’s chance encounters and uniquely combine the everyday with the extraordinary, the intimate, personal moments in Dylan’s time - through his chance encounters, his portraits, interiors, landscapes, still life, nudes and street scenes.”
She added: “Dylan’s decision to create several versions of the same image, using different colours and tones takes the viewer on a fascinating journey.
“The first in the Train Tracks Portfolio depicts a blood red sky as it seeps to the ground, the second turns to dramatic shades of Fauvist green, the third blue and then the fourth stark monotones.
“The redolent Cassandra nude is the global ‘everywoman’ as her flesh transcends race and her passions journey with the backdrop, from a cool and aloof blue, to the passion of purple.”
The collection will be unveiled and available in three graphic sizes with prices starting from £1,250.
Each edition is published in a limited number of no more than 295 copies worldwide.
