Art Card of John Dyer's "Pachamama Pipers" 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 festival held on Isla Taquile.

"The islanders celebrate the bounty of the harvest and their farming history over two days in May each year. The festivities revolve around the story of how they became owners of the land they farm and they dance,drink,chew coca leaves and play drum and fife music to celebrate. My visit to the island was timed to catch this colourful festival and the memory I will take from it is the small band of pipers who continued playiing into the night as they marched triumphantly through the terraces of potato,quinoa,lupins and broad beans to visit each sponsors house. Their music blessing the land as they went and bringing good fortune to all. As they played, the spectacle of the southern night sky,milky way and the bright southern cross sparkled overhead. A very magical and musical experience."

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."

Brian Stewart . Curator Falmouth Art Gallery
