Art Poster of John Dyer's "Peruvian Potato Eaters", painted on location in Peru. 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 a typical Peruvian home in the high Andes.

"My host family live in a small home constructed from Adobe mud bricks and consisting of one main living space. Bedrooms were accessed via an outside yard. In the yard sheep,cows,pigs and chickens live. The chickens are at liberty to wander into the inside living/kitchen space and half of that space is dedicated to a guinea pig farm! The guinea pigs wander around the kitchen on the earth floor and steal scraps of food when they can. Cooking is on an open fire (which is also the only form of heat) and there is one very small electric light and no windows. The family sit on rough wood benches and boxes. I was served excellent vegetarian food and felt so inspired by this honest kitchen that I decided to paint it live in the midst of the animals and smoke to capture the essence of the Peruvian kitchen and life. I was served simple boiled potatoes in their skins and a dipping bowl of salt, quinoa soup, and broad beans (which I had helped to harvest the previous day). The family were intrigued by the painting as it progressed and it was a fantastic way for me to communicate with them as they spoke Quechua, the native language of the high Andes which I have no knowledge of."

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."
