PAT BOWIE

The artist purposely allows his ideas "to run freely" and the images evolve during his creative process. His approach is reminiscent of the surrealists' type of visual free-association, known as automatism. With this technique, he imbues his art with a myriad of mysterious elements... The theme of nostalgia often inspires Bowie's art and there is a sense of having a visceral response to an event. His subjects are often juxtaposed with surrounding objects, sometimes floating in space, as if to elicit a memory or thought.
