Arthouse Gallery - Dean Bowen

Last week during the customary gallery crawl mark and i went to see Dean Bowen's paintings at Arthouse Gallery. I'm not so much a fan of Bowen's sculptures as it is his colour that is so wonderful.

Many of Bowen's paintings had ladybugs on them, these plant protectors with their black sopts and red wing casings. Not the painting above, obviously, but many of the paintings had ladybugs on them. One that didn't was titled something like "barking up the wrong tree" giving the ladybugs a benign force.

I have seen Bowen's paintings before and he always delights.

The gallery was quite full on the night. Mark and I stayed for a while and moved on to a different outlet.
