Framed limited edition
Medium: Giclée on Archival, 100% Cotton Mould Made Paper
This limited palette nocturn by Bob Dylan, titled “Down on the Corner,” showcases a silhouetted figure leaning against a wall, smoking a cigarette outside a tenpin bowling alley. The figure is captured taking a moment to themselves to unwind and relax while bathed in the soft, surreal glow of a pink neon sign. The stark contrast between the dark silhouette and the vivid neon imbues the scene with a dramatic, almost cinematic quality, emphasising the quiet, reflective solitude of the moment. Dylan’s masterful use of minimal colour highlights the starkness of the night, drawing the viewer into the introspective atmosphere that the scene conveys.

Bob Dylan is one of the most recognizable names in the world and a legendary figure in music history. Born in 1941 in Minnesota, USA, Dylan grew up immersed in music, eventually gaining fame for his blues and folk compositions. His work became a soundtrack for the 1960s, closely tied to America’s civil rights movement. While his musical legacy is unparalleled, Dylan’s art career, though less widely known, has also left a significant mark.
Dylan’s journey as a visual artist began in the 1960s after a motorcycle accident left him recuperating at home, during which he took up drawing. He continued to sketch and draw during his touring years, culminating in a collection of works created between 1989 and 1992 that he later published in a book.
In 2007, Dylan’s art gained wider recognition when the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz in Germany invited him to exhibit. This opportunity inspired him to create additional pieces for the show, resulting in the celebrated “Drawn Blank” collection. Building on this success, Dylan introduced his “Brazil” series in 2010, inspired by his travels in South America, marking a significant evolution in his art.
In recent years, Dylan has continued to explore new themes and styles, drawing inspiration from his global tours. Notable series include his “Asia” works in 2011 and the “New Orleans” collection in 2016. His art, much like his music, resonates deeply with collectors and admirers, further solidifying his status as a multifaceted creative force.
