The Art Studio and 18th Street Art Gallery had its first artist reception and art show under the new direction of Jenn Williams. The artist was Jen Bowles and the art show was “Calculated Spontaneity”.
I represented Noveltown and my first thought upon seeing the 18th Street Art Gallery was: Wow, what a great space!
Jen Bowles large-scale vibrant paintings are mesmerizing…
There was already quite a crowd of people when I arrived at the gallery. They lingered around Jen Bowles paintings contemplating the intensity of the colors and the textures.
“It’s all about texture and color for me,” Jen Bowles explained. She’s a full time artist in Bakersfield.
Bowles classified her art as non-representational rather than abstract. I asked her about her chosen medium. “It’s acrylic on board.” She explained, reluctant to reveal the techniques she’d developed in achieving the texture in her paintings.
Greg Goodsell asked what she thought of the Bakersfield art community: “For me, Bakersfield is kind of coming around, and they’re really becoming more interested in art. I feel that there’s a lot of people who enjoy the more non-representational type art.
“I have sold a couple pieces. I’m out here and I’m showing my artwork and I’m excited about it. I hope people will enjoy it and will be interested in it.”
