Shane Bowden “American Excess” Original Graffiti Art Framed Canvas. 63 1/2 in. x 42 1/2 in. Shane Bowden Lives and Works in Sydney - Australia and Camogli Italy. Shane Bowden is a contemporary Neo Expressionist, Pop artist, photographer and printmaker. Residing in the USA and Japan from 2001 to 2019, he is well known around the globe for his vibrant, colorful pop art silkscreen works reminiscent of Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg. In 2019, he returned to Sydney Australia and continues to work with a new, inspired and passionate drive towards his work.    Synoptic flashing juxtapositions of silk-screened imagery nostalgically recall the visual stratagems of the sixties; the collage techniques and unexpected material contrasts here & there, deliberately untidy contours & lavish paint smears meters long in these new combinations remind us that his works continue to bridge the gap between action painting and  Pop Art as well as the seminal gap between art and life which he has so compellingly carved out for himself, and so well captured in “American Excess”.   He has been a finalist in the 2010 and 2019 Archibald Prize.
