Myron Dyal
Dyal is a modern mystic, classically trained musician, and a self-taught Southern California artist. He has spiritual visions that are the catalysts for the vast oeuvre of his work that spans nearly three decades and includes more than 6,000 drawings, paintings, and sculptures. When he was four years old he awoke from a three month long coma, which his parents believed to be caused by demon possession. At that point, he says his mind was erased, his visions began, and he had Epilepsy. Dyal’s imagery is primal, dark, and folkloric. He uses papier-mâché to create life sized sculpture, because its immediacy accommodates his urgency to see his objects in three-dimensional form. His figurative and organic forms are derived from visions he experienced during epileptic seizures and self-induced trances that have aided him in dealing with his condition. Dyal has kept his prolific production of art secret for many years until he had his first solo exhibition at the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana. The accompanying catalog for that exhibition is being released on July 26, 2008 in conjunction with this exhibition at Otis College of Art and Design.
