Bob Dylan returns to his ongoing series of American highways and byways that he first explored in The Beaten Path in 2016 with a new collection of original paintings.

These recent works show Dylan's progression as a painter and a new maturity; the artist boldly depicts vast skies and changing light with confident, broad brushstrokes in a sheer celebration of colour. Dylan renders the changing face of America with ease; from the neon illuminations of a late-night ice cream joint in Nowhere and Anywhere, to an obscured Night Train, whose glowing headlights approach from the distance. New Orleans Street musicians; an abandoned jetty winding out to a deserted lake; the monolithic sweep of a bridge dissecting the sky overheard; all continue to create a panoramic vision of America.

‘My destiny lay down the road with whatever life invited.’
Bob Dylan
