Bob Dylan Side Tracks

‘Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn’t work’- Bob Dylan, Chronicles: Volume OneBackground Information‘Train Tracks’ is arguably the most recognisable drawing from ‘The Drawn Blank Series’. The image of the train track receding into the distance, with no beginning and no end, is reminiscent of Dylan’s own journey. Each “Side Tracks” is unique, hand embellished by Dylan. In each version, he has used the same coloured ‘Train Tracks’ print as his starting point and has created a series, over painting each image with Acrylic.“Side Tracks” has seen Bob Dylan exploring, over the course of 327 giclees, a whole range of tonal variation, and changes in mood and atmosphere that bring fresh & new interpretations to this iconic image. Restless, and not content to put his brush down, Dylan has reinvented the image again and again over the course of these works.The approach to “Side Tracks” mirrors Dylan’s wider journey, momentarily stopping off and living the moment before moving on. It is therefore fitting, that each “Side Tracks” from the series carries with it details of a time and place visited along the way, each with its own unique characteristics. Like their creator, they are themselves on a journey, always evolving, changing, and expanding, always moving forward.Each unique location & date evokes a specific time and place on Dylan’s continuous journey. Enhancing the uniqueness of each piece further, each an important stop on Dylan’s never ending journey. Each date has direct reference to Bob Dylan – usually but not always being the date and place of a Bob Dylan concert – and this title appears on the reverse of the piece, and on the Certificate of Authenticity.Image Size 104cm x 78cm.  As it stands from September 2016 the last few pieces from the series are currently from £30,000 paper.
