Sobre el Artista

A classical painter for the digital age, Dowdeswell sources his ideas from images presented in the mass media and the scenes he witnesses while travelling and gazing out of windows. He is fascinated by the anonymous lives of others, the daily unfolding events in everyone's lives which we will never know about while his painting reflects the blurred line between hand crafted artwork and that which is digitally produced. With a degree in America history and politics, Dowdeswell didn't come to art until into his 20s and that socio-political heritage underpins the vast majority of his oeuvre, from his installations 'Our Addiction is Killing Us' to his recent painting 'The Consequences of Conspicuous Consumption.'
