Artist Info – Dean Bowen
Born in Maryborough Victoria in 1957, Melbourne based artist Dean Bowen has been making art for over 40 years. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture and printmaking, with a prolific creative output consistently evolving through ‘a prism of humour and optimism’.
In the past 20 years, much of Dean’s work has been connected by one reoccurring motif – the bird. Originally inspired by the ‘tic tack sound’ of birds running and dancing across his metal studio roof, Dean’s fascination with birds is boldly rendered in a naive, vibrant, heavily textured style.
