Biodiversity Art - John Dyer

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 08:35:51 +0000

 An introduction to the art of John Dyer and some of the ecological projects and partners he has worked with.

"The arts, in their broadest sense, are fundamental to Eden. We aim to blur the perceived line between the creative and the scientific and use art to illustrate the vital link between plants and people. John Dyer is the painter in residence for the Eden Project in Cornwall. John has worked with the project from the year 2000 to the present day and has not only recorded the planting of the biomes but has travelled across the world to study the plants in their natural habitats.

The Eden Project have used John's work to help to tell their 'plant people' stories and a major exhibition was held for world food day in October 2002 of his italian crop paintings. John's work continues with Eden as he works towards his 'Crops Project' exhibition. And in 2004 John exhibited 'Rice is Life' at the project."
