James Dowlen

Artist from birth.

My paintings are built around personal mythologies or narratives that follow any desire or whim that I stumble on.They fall out of my day dreams or night dreams or night mares.Sometimes fragments of childhood memories.Natural phenomena captivate me . The elements and forces of nature tangled with quirks of human nature that ignite my imagination.

A lonely boat adrift mid way across the water, oars are still and waiting for no one.

A mystical rock levitates inviting more questions than answers.

The darkness that settles over the carnival of human folly.

These things become my subjects.
