Stockholm

Demonstrating his sensibility for storytelling, Point Blank is a notably observant series of works that reads like a glimpse into Bob Dylan’s visual journal. The collection is infused with a distinct spontaneity, as if capturing fleeting moments or memories.

This piece is inspired by the Swedish capital, known for its extensive network of waterways. As described in the Point Blank (Quick Studies) book: “It was smiles all the way in Stockholm. The good life. The kind of life you’d kill for.”

As the viewer, we are invited in to inhabit the space Dylan depicts, provoking our imagination to contemplate the scene and find poetic resonance in the details.  

Based on a ‘quick study’ created between 2021 and 2022, the original drawing was then painted over with vibrant colours and expressive brushwork.

This artwork is available individually, as a set of four landscapes or a complete set of eight.
