Artist’s Insightful New Work Inspired by Mentally Challenged Brother

A figurative tradition. Bachorski-Bowman’s work has always been based in the figurative tradition.  “Anatomical integrity is an essential element in the portraits I create,” she said.  “It is through the exploration of the physical likeness, that I convey the personality and spirit of the individual subject.  My new work, utilizes raw, textured surfaces to depict the emotion as the portrait.  The pieces are broken, and incomplete by design. The suspended figures can’t stand on their own. Finally, the pieces are coated with encaustic, sealing them, and maintaining unspoken emotion.”
