LEIGH HEWSON-BOWER – INTERNATIONAL WATERS

Location: West Perth
16 NOVEMBER - 6 DECEMBER. OFFICIAL OPENING 6-8pm Thursday 19 November. "I chose this title for the show after I had been working on the two Arctic pieces as I thought it allowed me to feel free to be influenced by any images that made an impression on me. All, of course dealing with water in whatever form it might take and in any location. I guess you could say that water flows through my work. I will rarely create a painting that does not include a representation of it. The first time I visited Rottnest back in the nineties was the beginning of my involvement with Realism. Prior to that I was working in a more abstract fashion, the legacy of my art school years where realistic representation was not the current approach. And so it was a liberating experience to simply try my best to represent something in paint. And I shall continue to do exactly that." Leigh Hewson-Bower 2020.
