FRESH FACES IN ART: EIGHT LA ARTISTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
JUSTIN BOWER Justin Bower paints slippage. The stabilized view of subjectivity and identity become notions in flux which remain fluid and uncertain—the result perhaps of the digital nature of our contemporary online existence. The bravura handling of the paint reinforces the gesture of the hand while simultaneously rejecting any easy integration of the subject. His ‘portraits’ exist in the same liminal spaces that The Matrix marked between dreaming and reality. Questions of technology and identity are fundamental in these paintings—posing the question of how do human beings negotiate the world without static points of reference and in a constantly altered and mutated environs, both mentally and virtually.
