Bobby
Dowler

1991

“Je crée des ‘peintures-objets’ en cannibalisant des peintures orphelines et des idées modernistes.”

Biographie de l’artiste

Bobby Dowler, originaire de Londres, est diplomé de Southhampton et de Camberwell College, UAL Londres. Son originalité fait sa force. Bobby collectionne et réutilise des peintures sur toile et châssis, des vieux ustensiles déjà utilisés par d’autres dans le passé. Comme un matériau de récupération, il recycle le travail inachevé ou délaissé d’autres artistes auquel il ajoute ses propres chutes artistiques. Collection accumulée au fil des ans, d’abord par achat à bas prix dans les puces, foires et marchés, il reçoit aujourd’hui un grand nombre de dons. Une fois en sa possession, il analyse les tableaux, il les sépare de leurs châssis, enlève les clous, les agrafes, et les ordonne dans son atelier par taille, style, format ou forme (les châssis aussi). Les développements sont assez imprévisibles et le hasard tient une grande place dans l’œuvre de l’artiste. Il travaille par collages, aplats de matière (peinture, colle, vernis), incision, découpe jusqu’à obtenir un résultat esthétique qui lui convient. Les matériaux ont tous leur propre histoire, et leurs particularités servent de sujet à l’œuvre de Bobby.
