Bob Dylan to debut paintings

LONDON -- An upcoming show of Bob Dylan's art at the Halcyon Gallery in London will show that, after years of making impressionistic drawings in his downtime, the music legend has finally set out to paint his masterpiece.

Consisting of a dozen acrylic paintings -- the first of Dylan's recent forays onto canvas to be exhibited -- the new work is based on drawings from the "Drawn Blank Series," which the singer made at the outset of his so-called Never Ending Tour, between 1989 to 1992.

Set to open February 13, "Bob Dylan on Canvas" will then travel in September to the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen, where another, larger exhibition of his new paintings will also debut at the Statens Museum for Kunst this fall.
