Luna Rienne Gallery presents Unnatural Selection
SEE EVENT DETAILS
With Unnatural Selection, Bowen presents a new body of work addressing his unanswered questions about biomimicry and the sanctity of nature. He continues to play mad scientist in a laboratory that should never really exist, mixing technology with creatures. To juxtapose these prophetic tragedies, he has also painted a series of creatures with a precious stone/gem element, based on the concept that people should protect nature in the same way they safeguard their most prized jewels.
Robert Bowen is a San Francisco-based visual artist fascinated with the conflict of man versus nature, rendered via his animal and machinery hybrids. Bowen got his start through graffiti and street art, briefly attended art school and continues self-schooling to obtain a classical education as a painter. Bowen has been exhibiting his artwork throughout the US and abroad for over 25 years, including exhibitions at the de Young Museum and Crocker Art Museum.
