We are excited to offer an artist collection of orangutan prints and orangutan art posters, all created from paintings completed in the Borneo rainforest.
Our talented artist, John Dyer, has worked tirelessly to capture the beauty and majesty of these endangered animals, and we are proud to offer his artwork to our customers.
Whether you're looking for a piece of orangutan art for your home or office, we have something perfect for you from one of the UK's most acclaimed environmental artists. You might also enjoy viewing Amazon Rainforest art.
British artist John Dyer is an official 'Artist for the Earth' with EarthDay.org and raises awareness around species like orangutans through his art. He has painted all over the world, and many of his paintings are a way to bring attention to the plight of our planet by focusing on uplifting and optimistic views of the world to engage and enhance people's awareness.
Through his art, John Dyer hopes people will connect to the subjets he highlights and this series of orangutan art artwork is a perfect example of this.
All of the art featured here was completed during an expedition to the Borneo rainforest supported by Procreate, Innova Art, The Royal Geographical Society, The Born Free Foundation, The Eden Project, Earth Day, and The Orangutan Foundation. John Dyer lived and painted deep in the rainforest of southern Borneo amongst the wild orangutans. You can find out all about this extraordinary adventure and also engage your children through art by visiting the 'Last Chance to Paint' Borneo project page.
Some of the drawings featured on these museum-quality orangutan art prints were created by John Dyer deep in the Borneo rainforest on an iPad mini.
Using Procreate on iPad is a fast and mobile painting and drawing solution that enabled the artist to react quickly to the animals and to gain a visual understanding of the orangutans as they fed, played, rested, and explored the rainforest.
Making drawings of the baby orangutans allowed the artist to understand how elements such as their feet, hand, mouth, lips, head, general shape, and lines worked and this helped to enable the artist to find the 'essence' of an orangutan for his celebratory paintings which were also completed in the jungle.
Learning to draw orangutans in the wild and to work with the shape of these extraordinary creatures is something that everyone can now enjoy and involve their children with through John Dyer's Last Chance to Paint project for schools.
John Dyer's orangutan painting experience was unique as he was given special government permission to venture into the wildlife reserve with the Orangutan Foundation and the paintings he completed in the jungle are now available as signed limited edition orangutan prints. Each print is personally numbered, titled, and then signed by the artist and they are printed with the highest quality inks onto artist quality fine art watercolor paper.
Each John Dyer orangutan painting and drawing is also available as a museum-quality artist fine art poster print. These stunning prints feature John's amazing orangutan art paintings and drawings with crisp typography and design.
All of the orangutan drawings and orangutan paintings of the wild orangutans in Borneo by John Dyer can be purchased from our gallery online. The art poster prints are created for you in the UK, USA, Australia, and the EU for super fast delivery, and delivery is free. The signed limited edition orangutan art prints are created by the artist in his studio in the UK and are sent to you with free worldwide delivery to your door.
If you are looking for an orangutan painting please do contact the gallery as John Dyer does consider special commissions.
Orangutans in Borneo are critically endangered due to poaching, habitat loss, and the illegal pet trade. orangutan populations have declined by more than 60% over the past 75 years, and they could be extinct from the wild within 10-20 years if current trends continue. orangutans are important for rainforest health, and their disappearance could lead to disastrous consequences for the environment.
Orangutans were therefore a natural 'Last Chance to Paint' subject for John Dyer as they may well not exist in the wild within a decade which is heartbreaking.

Loved this case for my new iPhone 16 pro - it makes me smile and the vibrant colours are just gorgeous
Love it. So cheering on these dark days of winter. Thank you John.
I was looking for a print of st ives and came across John dyers work . I particularly like the colours and style of this piece , especially the fat seagulls . It’s complete fun in a frame and reminds us of happy days spent at the harbour
The print is fabulous, beautiful and my sister will love it. Thank you
Really like this picture as it brings brightness to our kitchen diner. We framed it with a white border and blue second border. Looks amazing
We love John’s pictures of France. We already have an original of Nice but bought this poster as it brings back so many wonderful memories.
Superb communication and attentiveness from gallery. The poster is of course wonderful.
Love this print - bright, sunny and makes one feel warm and happy!
Delivery was all easy and straightforward. Many thanks.
The print is even better in real life. It’s printed on beautiful quality paper which makes the colours really pop and the painting itself is simply charming. It brings so much joy to us. We love it! Thank you
A lovely art print bought as a memory of our holidays on the beautiful Isles of Scilly.
The frame is very well made and displays the art print beautifully. Ordering from John Dyer Gallery was simple and delivery swift. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
Thank you so much for the amazing customer service, and most beautiful painting of our favourite place
Absolutely beautiful painting. So thrilled with it. Completely amazing service: beautifully packaged, framed and safely delivered really quickly.
Lovely picture, bought 3 after our recent trip to Cornwall. Already thinking of getting more.
Have walked this coastal path from St Agnes to Chapel Porth and back countless time. I am now pleased that this fabulous print is the first thing I see every morning. Beautiful, happy colours. Nice frame. I’m now planning of ordering one of Mount’s Bay by same artist.
Such a vibrant, pretty piece. I visited Fowey Harbour recently and was looking for a small keepsake to have with me back in the U.S. Shipping abroad was seamless and I received this item quite quickly. I've had many compliments since putting this on my phone and am happy to be reminded of a wonderful trip to a magical place this summer.
As always professional , efficient and prompt .
