Julian Dyson (1936 - 2003)

We are currently exhibiting 2 signed limited edition prints by the late Cornish artist Julian Dyson.

Dyson was a completely self-taught artist who was able to establish himself as a well respected and collected painter and sculptor in a short artistic career.

He said of himself in 2001.
"As a child I would despair at the coarseness and clumsiness of my painting and drawing. So many other children seemed to have a facility that eluded me. Now that I approach old age , I think that this has perhaps helped me.

Drawing was persistence. A feeling of rhythm slowly developed. I find that a good day for drawing is as I imagine making music would be. Wind and rain decide the way I draw. Good drawing must always have the smell of the day. Through all this I have found that toughness and clumsiness can some times be beautiful. The flaws and exploratory marks in my work are an important part of the final image."
