"More To The Picture"
Major Solo Exhibition
September 9, 2023
Opening Reception and Sale
Live Artist Interview Conducted by Logan Maxwell Hagege
We are very excited to host Eric Bowman's largest solo exhibition to date. More the the Picture features 15 new paintings, more than half being large scale works. We invite you to join us in-person September 9th in our downtown Los Angeles gallery for the opening reception and sale. A live artist interview will be conducted prior to the sale between Bowman (interviewee) and Logan Maxwell Hagege (interviewer).
Bowman has been a professional fine artist for nearly 30 years. His career began as an illustrator and quickly turned to fine art after a painting trip with fellow artist, Tim Solliday. Bowman's stylized paintings were sought after for a long time by landscape enthusiasts, but the artist never shied away from painting figures throughout his career, whenever they could help enhance a scene.
About eight years ago his illustration background led him to start toying with new scenes - this time placing the figures into his stylized landscapes. We, at Maxwell Alexander Gallery, had known of Bowman's work for years, these new paintings were on a whole new level -- and we instantly made the call to start representing his work. At the time, unknown to the public, we were in the early stages of moving our gallery to a much larger location in Downtown Los Angeles. We timed the addition of Bowman to our roster to allow for his work to shine on a larger stage - and thus started the string of four consecutive sold out solo exhibitions. Fast forward to today, this is Bowman's fifth solo exhibition and his most major in his 30+ year art career. In the last eight years, Bowman has become one of the most sought after artists in the western genre. He has been featured in every major museum invitational, graced the cover of multiple publications, and he has received special honors including the GREAT AMERICAN COWBOY AWARD at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum's Prix de West invitational.
MORE TO THE PICTURE is the most anticipated exhibition of the year. The artist has been working on the exhibit for nearly two years holding back his best works to be displayed in one place. We invite you to attend the exhibition in person, although if you are unable to attend, remote purchasing of artwork will be available.
