Colour, Space and Light

JONATHAN BOWDEN

I believe in looking for the dream in nature, the presences that our ancestors related to quite naturally and which are still evident in aboriginal art or mediaeval carvings. I would like people who look at my work to believe that they are there, looking at what I looked at and experiencing what I experienced. Each painting takes from fifteen to thirty separate visits to a place, building up layers of pigment and establishing colour harmonies from simple contrasts.
