"Family Harvest, Isla Taquile"" was painted on location in Peru by John Dyer. The painting is part of a set of work completed by the artist for the United Nations International Year of the Potato working as resident artist for CIP International Potato Center - Centro Internacional de la Papa. The painting shows the harvest in the high Andes near the sacred valley at Amaru.
"In the far south of Peru, near the Bolivian border, you find the genetic home of the potato. Peru is where the humble potato originated from, and this is also the place to find not only the biodiversiy but the culture and ceremonies associated with it. 45km into lake Titicaca is the island of Taquile which has some of the oldest potato terraces in the world. The people (Taquileños) of the island run their community as a collective and adhere to the Inca moral code; do not steal, lie of be lazy. This is a very traditional but rich society. The clothes worn by the men and women are the same throughout the year. The hats of the men being particuarly interesting as they indicate their marital status by the use of colour. After a day and a half of walking to find the harvest I painted this canvas as the family gathered their crop and again it became a wonderful way of communicating with the people. As I was watching them they watched me. Yellow butterflies flitted about and bird song filled the air. To slow the harvest up a little, and as a courtesy to the family, I provided plenty of coca leaves and beer which seemed to work a treat ! The harvest continued at a pace I could keep up with and a crowd of locals gathered to watch the spectacle. The family cooked some of the potatoes in a small earth oven they constructed and the farmer blessed my painting with beer for Pachamama. He was pleased with the length and straightness of the line the beer left on the earth, stating that this would bring great fortune to the painting."
ARTIST INFORMATION
John Dyer is one of the UK's most exciting and well known artists. His work is collected internationally and his paintings have been the subject of popular television programmes and a wide range of merchandise. John has worked as Artist in residence for many organisations including Eden Project, Bioversity International, Banrock Station and Darwin200.
"There is an innocence and freshness to John Dyer's art that follows a tradition in Cornwall. Rather than trying to record what he sees, John sets out to capture the 'essence' of his subject. It is his ability to capture the 'essence' of what is important that seems to appeal to those who have shown great vision and originality in their own careers, such as Tim Smit, Alan Titchmarsh, Toyah Willcox and Kim Wilde who are all collectors of the artists paintings."
