“MUSIC TO MY EYES”
17 JUNE - 26 AUGUST 2023
SIMON BOWMAN JNR
Simon Bowman Jnr is challenging us to reconsider our notions of photography!
Extrapolated from analogue interventions through to the final digital composition, Simon’s works occupy ephemeral spaces until his experiments which begin with 35mm photographic film in the darkroom assume forms, universes, shapes and scapes.
Working with tropical fruit juices, his reagents of choice for this exhibition, we are drawn into worlds of abstraction with luminous, cumulus, ghostly, neon, deep pitch shapes and forms.
“Instead of taking regular photographs and developing them, I generate the photographs from chemicals. It is chemistry that gives me the images that I call photographs. I don’t take photographs, I make them.”- Simon Bowman Jnr
