Finalized Dylan Collage.jpg

We were approached by a client (Scott) to commission this piece after he saw our first collage, Lightfoot "Picking up the Pieces".  He immediately envisioned the same format translated into a piece highlighting one of his favourite artists, Bob Dylan.  As we delved into our research (immersing ourselves in Dylan's music, watching videos and interviews) we discovered Dylan is not only one of the greatest songwriters of our times, he is also an accomplished artist (see "Woman in Red Lion Pub" below) as well as a published writer (poetry, memoirs and books relating to his artwork).  Scott provided us with a list of suggested Dylan songs he would like highlighted and we got to work determining how each song would best be reflected on canvas.

 

This piece is comprised of 22 individual gallery wrapped canvas (acrylic on canvas of various sizes -  5"x7", 6"x6", 8"x8" and 8"x10"), mounted on board and custom-framed.  The finished piece, including frame, is 48"x46".

We chose the title "The Times They Are a 'Changin" as we felt it is as apropos today as it was when the lyrics to this song were written by Dylan in the tumultuous 60's.  

We hope you enjoy this piece as much as we did while developing the concept and bringing it to fruition on canvas.
