Sunflowers (2014)
Signed Print

Sunflowers radiates with bold yellow blooms rendered against a stark backdrop of red brick wall and tall industrial buildings, showcasing Dylan's distinctive Impressionist-inspired watercolour style that allows colours to sing independently rather than blend. The composition draws from his touring sketches, reimagined with the expressive brushwork that defines the Drawn Blank series. Dylan's interpretation of this classic subject reflects his deep engagement with Americana, finding beauty in everyday scenes that might otherwise be overlooked, and in the constant juxtapositions that exist in modern American life - natural beauty in the urban, peace amongst busy streets, isolation in a place of community.

The sunflowers themselves become symbols of resilience and optimism, themes that also resonate throughout his musical career. As such, this piece demonstrates how Dylan's visual art parallels his songwriting philosophy - taking familiar subjects and infusing them with personal perspective and emotional depth, and inviting the viewer to consider the broader story. Published by Washington Green Fine Art and Black Buffalo Artworks, the print represents Dylan's commitment to documenting authentic American experiences through both music and visual expression, transforming simple sketches into profound statements about finding hope and beauty in the everyday world.
