ARTIST BIO



SHANE BOWDEN Stephens; (b. 1974) in Brisbane Australia. Shane lives and works in Sydney - Australia, Tokyo - Japan, San Diego - USA, and Camogli - Italy.



Shane Bowden is a Neo-Expressionist painter, artist and printmaker. He is well known around the globe for his vibrant, colorful pop art silkscreen works reminiscent of Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, particularly in Japan. A mercurial figure, he eludes public apprehension & definitions by constantly shifting styles & adhering to his own intuitive program of freedom & novelty of execution & themes.



Synoptic flashing juxtapositions of silk screened imagery nostalgically recall the visual stratagems of the sixties; the collage techniques & unexpected material contrasts here & there, deliberately untidy contours & lavish paint smears meters long in these new combinations remind us that his works continue to bridge the gap between action painting & Pop Art as well as the seminal gap between art & life which he has so compellingly carved out for himself.




“Work is my therapy & drive. I don’t know anybody who loves painting and art as much as I do. It give’s me such pleasure with massive highs & low’s. I truly feel alive. It separates me from reality into not having to deal with the unnecessary shit that is thrust upon us in real life.”



During these years in the USA his appeal and collectability grew significantly with many notable galleries and celebrity collectors around the globe purchasing works for their collections. Some of the notable collections are Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, LACMA, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Mori Art Museum- Tokyo, National Museum of Modern Art Tokyo and the Bromer Kunst in Switzerland.
