Gary Bowling

Gary Bowling is a contemporary American impressionist, who in his landscapes, paints the time of day, weather, season, and the human need to shape it. The richness and fluidity of his painting technique are awesome.

Bowling’s passion for the Midwest landscape is demonstrated with an extraordinary spectrum of effects, from the clear brightness of a sunny afternoon, to the modulated hues of early morning. His subjects are of farms, rolling fields, quiet suburban moments, and the most brilliant skyscapes. His vigorous and assured vision of what our landscape is now in 2001 makes for a compelling view. When you stand in front of a Bowling painting, a feeling of familiarity and awe of the beauty of the landscape is conveyed. The most frequent comments made by visitors to the Gallery about the paintings are, “I know where this is, I’ve been there!”

Gary Bowling’s work is in many museum and corporate collections. A list of these are available upon request

My organic and figurative sculptural forms explore and search for a certain “emotional rightness” between material, shape and color within each piece, in addition to the themes of gesture and content. Through this search, a visual, wordless language develops which transcends our traditional expressive vocabulary. This language speaks to me and to the viewer through the perceived and acknowledged recognition of “an intuitive feeling” emanating from within the composition, which renders it recognizable in an emotional way. I search for the strength, unity, cohesiveness and rightness of the work through this emotional language and connection.

When a dialogue of shared feelings is established between the viewer and the sculpture, the previously unknown and unrecognizable form becomes perceivable, believable and real.
