Biography
Born in 1957 to Katherine "Kae" (née Dirrane) and John S. Bowes.[2] He is a brother of science fiction writer Richard Bowes.[2]
Bowes attended Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the mid 1970s and has taught painting classes at his alma mater.[3]
His paintings are often brightly colored, with loose painterly strokes and make reference to multiple sources such as allegories, mythology and art history. He has been described as being a "brilliant painter",[4] and having a "delicacy of touch and genuine fascination with the medium of paint."[5]
Bowes' work is exhibited in the United States and Europe. He participated in the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999.[6] His work is held in the collection of the Walker Art Center[7] and the Broad Contemporary Art Museum at LACMA.
