John Dyer takes off in Japan
Above: John Dyer in Ginza, Tokyo with his new triptych "Love Story" which is proving popular with the Collectors in Japan.
"This has been a fantastic experience for me - people have travelled from all over Japan to meet me on the tour and it has been incredibly interesting to listen to my new Japanese collectors discussing my work. We have launched a vibrant new range of limited edition prints in Japan to accompany the exhibition and the images of St Ives and the Helford Passage are very popular. Many collectors are buying my print of the Helford Passage with a yellow sky to hang on the west wall of their homes as in Japan a yellow sky hung on the West will will bring the family good fortune." John Dyer
"With nine galleries in the top retail locations in Japan actively promoting John's work and Cornwall as a destination this is bound to have an impact." The John Dyer Gallery.
John travelled to Japan with his family and his wife, artist Joanne Short. The John Dyer Gallery will be exhibiting works inspired from this trip towards the end of this year and the exhibition will include work from both John and Joanne. The artists found the blend of culture, ancient temples, geisha and the high tech skyscrapers fascinating. While in Japan the family also experienced an earthquake and narrowly missed the largest cyclone Japan has ever seen in July.

Famous
UK artist visits Banrock Station
Text
from Banrock Station's Autumn News.
Seeing is believing! And never have truer
words been used to describe the artworks of famous UK
artist John Dyer. The Artist-in-Residence at the Eden
Project, in Cornwall in the United Kingdom, John has just
spent a week at Banrock painting the many diverse and
unique landscapes of the property. John is a highly sought-after
artist, commissioned to paint his unique 'plantscapes'
throughout the world. At Banrock, his colourful and detailed
style captured the wildlife and plant life against the
natural backdrops of the wetlands, floodplains, mallee
woodlands, vineyards, river and the mighty cliffs. His
visit follows Banrock's amazing sponsorship of the Eden
Project's Good Garden program last year. The Eden Project
is the amazing vision of Tim Smit, who inspired the support
of the UK Millennium Program to help fund the creation
of massive glass domes covering a disused china-clay mine
pit in Cornwall, now housing rainforest landscapes and
other Mediterranean landscapes that attract 1.5 million
visitors every year. An exhibition of John's latest work,
the Banrock Station Exhibition by John Dyer, will be held
at the Eden Project in June this year to coincide with
Tony Sharley's visit to the UK.

and their daughter Martha-Lilly enjoying the firework
