Art Description:
The skewed perspective and deep foreshortening renders the space these nudes occupy, or rather “possess”, disorientating. You are not drawn into the painting, you are not invited. Instead, you find yourself suspended by a nagging sense of exposure and trespass. The atmosphere is one of intense, claustrophobic scrutiny. Furthermore, we are not allowed, as viewers, the comfort of the classical mutual gaze, no “come hither” glances in these encounters, no coy profiles. Instead, we are left abruptly on our own in the dark, at the threshold as it were, by the artist, to consult our ruffled consciences and preconceptions, and to consider perhaps, in the final analysis if it is not we, the viewers, who are, paradoxically, stripped naked by these provocative, discomfiting depictions

Art Description
For every action, a reaction ; from collision, division ; from uniform motion, unity. Each body is shown in isolation and lacks both individuality and cosmetic detail, but all respond to the same external, chaotic physical force. This work is symbolic of the the way innate human characteristics are forged into a public persona and – extrapolating further – the way societies are coerced into cohesive units. A collective body is formed ; the figures are intertwined but independent, their hands eternally reaching out. The outer mechanical process of making art (and Freud’s ‘ego’) is reflected in the homologous poses ; the inward contemplative state (Freud’s ‘id’) is represented by the differences in direction - Mark Sleigh

A painting from a series where i revisited an older sequence of sketches. The reason for revisiting the paintings was to try and convey more dynamism in the movement than the older studies, by compounding multiple figures into the composition.

Art Description
Painted with the kind permission of Baha Souki. This is the first of a series of paintings working from the very talented photo journalist Baha Souki. It was essential to me to start off with a portrait of Baha, as the following paintings are painted from his incredible photographs, and so i wanted to literally paint the eyes that took the photos which have been so inspirational to me.....

Highly accomplished in its deployment of various materials and techniques, Josh Bowe's work, although primarily figurative, nonetheless represents an on-going investigation into the fundamentals ofrepresentation and abstraction. At once complex and intuitive, his paintings combine form, colour and texture to create a strong sense of vigour and dynamism, the contrasting figurative and abstract pictorial elements stimulating the viewer to see familiar subjects in fresh and challenging ways. Moreover, by staying faithful to well-established aesthetic principles, Josh Bowe's image-making pulls off that all too elusive balancing act between innovation and accessibility, endowing his work with exceptional intellectual and visual appeal.
