Day Bowman Wave Theory 2, 2020 Household Paint, Charcoal and Graphite on Card Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) ARTIST STATEMENT - DAY BOWMAN Growing up in a holiday destination, small, seaside town it is not surprising that much of my work has referenced the sea, the beach and littoral. Moving freely from one work to another there is a sense of play and random mark- making and through the use of colour, of scribbled lines and drip marks I have attempted to capture the tides and the occasional gleam of sunshine. Along with scratched childhood messages to the gods, our childhood castles in the sand were built to keep out the marauding tidal waters; today I believe these tidal images represent something more sinister referencing an incoming wave of bigotry and intolerance. And whilst these are not overtly political works I find within them a questioning on the notion of place, identity and belonging. BIOGRAPHY - DAY BOWMAN In the past twelve months her work has gained first prize in the Anima Mundi International Painting Prize and exhibited at the Venice Biennale 2019; this was quickly followed by being awarded first prize in the Bath Arts Open 2019 and first prize for the inaugural Wales Contemporary 2019. Most recently Day was awarded the Winsor & Newton Prize 2020 by the Royal Institute for Painters in Watercolours. Tearing up the Rule Book, a solo international exhibition at Westminster Reference Library London and Atelier Melusine France was praised by critics and bloggers at its London showing in March 2019 and Artlyst gave coverage in October 2019: https://www.artlyst.com/reviews/tearing-rule-book-paintings-day-bowman-atelier- melusine In 2012 she was commissioned to produce a series of giant hoardings for Weymouth Railway Station, host town to the Olympic Sailing and Paralympic Sailing events. Day's work is held in numerous private and public collections worldwide including Hilton Hotel Group; British Dental Association; Dorset County Hospital, St. Vincent and Grenadines Govt. Art Collection and the Yantai Art Museum Collection China.
