Chronology
John Dyer is one of the UK's most exciting and well known
plein-air painters. His
work is collected internationally and his paintings have
been the subject of popular television programmes and
a wide range of merchandise.
John's environmental work studying the ethnobotanical
relationships of plants with the Eden Project has firmly
placed his work at the forefront of contemporary art and
he is one of the UK's best known international environmental
artists, having worked with leading scientific organisations
across the globe.
"There
is an innocence and freshness to John Dyer's art that
follows a tradition in Cornwall that includes the work
of Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, Fred Yates and Bryan
Pearce. Rather than trying to record what he sees, John
sets out to capture the 'essence' of his subject. The
'essence' of seagulls, cats, dogs, bobbing boats, or exploding
fireworks communicate far more strongly through John's
brushstrokes than they would if drawn more traditionally.
It is this ability to capture the 'essence' of what is
important that seems to appeal to those who have shown
great vision and originality in their own careers, such
as Tim Smitt, Alan Titchmarsh or Kim Wilde."

Stewart . Curator Falmouth
Art Gallery
"I have always had immense respect for anyone who chooses
to take time to interpret our world for us through painting,
and feel especially privileged to have hosted such an
inspired artist in our back garden!"

Wilde. Rock Star and
Garden Designer
