ONES TO WATCH

Maine Home+Design, March 2017

“The art I create is abstract expressionism. My process is deeply rooted in emotion; I believe that colors intrinsically represent different emotions. We all hold this inner palette of colors within ourselves. When we allow ourselves to become extremely sensitive and attuned to our inner world as well as to our surroundings, and yet stay strong, confident, and true, we can experience all these beautiful color explosions of emotion. This is part of the process and purpose of living. “I’ve often referred to the canvas as an open stage where an improvisational act will take place. I use this metaphor only because it resonates with me, as I was an actor before becoming a painter. When you’re on the stage, you don’t know what is going to happen, and there’s a certain feeling that goes along with that. For me, that feeling is a color. It’s highly charged energy, the unknown expression of where this experience might lead. It’s also a very vulnerable place, but one that’s perfect for creation. The choices of color, texture, application, and composition are inherent, deliberate, palpable, bold, and, most important, honest about the emotional experience of the moment.” –Scott Bowe
