Myron Dyal Interview

Great art can move, inspire, cause fear and trembling, induce awe, and communicate that which words alone cannot. The art of Myron Conan Dyal certainly does ALL of that. One notion that is being communicated by his sculptures, paintings and drawings (recently on display at the CSUF Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana as "Primordial Images of a Modern Mystic") is that he is a man who has struggled through a "dark night of the soul," peered into another world, and brought back images of transformative power. The bizarre nature of the alien (and arguably dark and disturbing) visions creates a serious curiosity as to the details of the story of this man's journey. Those blanks are filled in by his autobiography "The Boy Nobody Wanted: Visionary Experiences Behind the Art." Hear the artist discuss his work and the tragedy, horror, disintegration, re-integration and ultimate transcendence that inspired it all.
