Bob Dylan Art Exhibition opens tomorrow
News from our newspaper (reporter Li Li) Bob Dylan, who won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, has created a large number of paintings and sculptures in addition to his identities as musicians and poets. Now, these seldom mentioned visual art works have come to Beijing, and will meet the public in the Second Hall of Today Art Museum from tomorrow. The exhibition will last until October 18.
The exhibition focuses on Bob Dylan's six series of visual arts in his creative career, with more than 140 works, including manuscripts, drawings, watercolors, oil paintings, acrylics, industrial metal sculptures and related video materials. In the "Writing World" exhibition area, the audience can see a large number of Dylan's lyrics manuscripts, each of which is handwritten with a pen and is accompanied by a graphite sketch. In the "early paper" series of works, he demonstrated his visualization of himself and the external world since 1973. In the "Filling and Drawing Blanks" series, Dylan's drawings and paintings created during his global tour from 1989 to 1992 are displayed.
In the creation of the iron art series, Dylan collages and combines various iron products to give them a new life. In the most shocking "Ordinary Road" exhibition area, a huge installation composed of 24 paintings presents the full picture of the American landscape in Dylan's mind. These works capture classic American scenes such as run-down motels, overnight small restaurants, abandoned playgrounds and antique classic cars.
After watching the exhibition, the audience can also take home their favorite art derivatives in the "Bob Dylan Living Room" on the first floor of the exhibition hall. At the same time, Taihe Music is holding hands with Taihe Music to launch the cover of Bob Dylan's vinyl record plan. At the unveiling ceremony last night, as a representative of the musicians participating in this project, Lao Lang gifted the limited edition vinyl records autographed by six groups of musicians under Taihe to Today Art Museum. "Gate" has also been launched recently.
