John Dyer's Côte of many colours
2010-06-21 16:18
Englishman John Dyer is one of the most prolific artists working on the Côte d'Azur. His permanent presence here at the Galerie Monaco means you can barely avoid him or his bright and vibrant canvases And if you were lucky enough to be in Menton in June you may have seen the extraordinary performances of the ballet 'Palais de Cristal' in which the performers danced against vast blow-ups of his paintings.
Now Dyer has been putting together his new project to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth in the form of an array of bright tropical landscapes, filled with the variety of what the father of evolution called 'the endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful' of the natural world.
If you're in Monaco this summer, pop along to the Galerie Monaco, where you may wish to purchase one of Dyer's paintings or prints. He is always very happy to discuss individual commissions
