Dog Walker, South Downs, oil on canvas, 90 x 110 cmsSarah BowmanSarah Bowman lives in Devon where her husband owns an art gallery. There are similarities in her current work to the Cornish based St Ives school in her combination of landscape and still-life often glimpsed through an open window. Renaissance frescoes with their use of a trompe l'oeil window looking onto a distant scene and her love of primitive unscathed landscapes have also influenced her work. She absorbs the influence of different places; these works carry with them a sense of exploration and travel and lead us into an imaginary world of distilled memory. This recent collection of paintings is inspired by a visit to Sussex and its coast.Click here to view more work by Sarah Bowman |
