Art Poster of a John Dyer Fine Art Photograph taken from his series conducted in the Amazon Rainforest in 1989. The photograph is a black and white infrared image. John Dyer is one of the UK's leading artists and his fine art photography and contemporary paintings are widely acclaimed. As a photographer he has won D&AD awards, been published by Athena and conducted photographic shoots for rock stars, design agencies, environmental groups as well as exhibiting his fine art photographs and paintings. This image is from a special series he completed while exploring the Amazon Rainforest in 1989 to bring the world's attention to the remaining natural beauty and issues of conservation. The project was funded by Thames Television, CAFOD, Kodak, Ilford, BBC, Rohan clothes, Rotary International, Volvo, The David Shepherd Conservation Foundation and English China Clay. The resulting exhibition was exhibited in central London.

"Working as a 'Painter in Residence' at the Eden Project has given John an unprecedented insight into the project and the people who made it happen. Working at Watering Lane Nursery and the Biomes at Eden since November 2000 John has had a unique painting experience. John's work is pure painted joy -unbuttoned, jumping up-and-down, salty, earthy, laugh-out-loud, natural energy. His pictures make you want to touch felty leaves, squeeze fat fruit, push your nose into flowers and breathe deeply. It's no surprise that his paintings are popular the world over; whether he is painting a vineyard in Provence, the Humid Tropics at Eden, or docks and beaches in his own native Falmouth, he touches a very human need - the innocent thirst for light, pattern and colour. We sense in John's paintings the sheer human thrill of being alive" Sue Hill, Art Director of Eden Project

"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. Several major exhibitions of his work have been held at the project; World Food Day, Rice is Life, Banrock Station-Wetlands Art.

John's work continues with Eden as he works towards his 'Crops Project' exhibition with further collaborations between the artist and scientists planned." The Eden project 2008

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."
