I’m thrilled to be the new Painting Interactions module instructor in the Fine Art Department of Paris College of Art. As far as part-time salaried jobs that can neatly fit in around a full-time irrational obsession to endlessly create self-conscious artworks (sorry world!), this is definitely a dream job! Therefore I consider myself honored, grateful & lucky to have this chance opportunity to support art student learning and would like to thank @v.devoldere for trusting me on this quest. 🫡🎨 🖼️ 🫟

Painting-Object_02(c01-26)P.P, 2026, paint and objects,
21h x 14w x 14d (variable)
Recently exhibited in Planning Permission group show at @freshsaladart (thank u for the 📷) in Brighton, GB.
Stepping away from the
role of just "object maker", experiementing with somesort of quasi-spiritual-Beuysian mediator attitude, I invited the organisers of this exh to reconfigure the various 'painting-objects' parts of this artwork according to their own intuition. In this sense artistic
community is the primary driver of the work.

“The artworks in this exhibition will be asked to be considered as depictions of dreamlike architecture. Forming questions surrounding hypothetical if not impossible constructions.

Focusing on colour and form, suggestions of arches, columns, and other structures will reveal themselves. Being brought together on an imagined site of chaotic scale and proportion, creating an abstracted city-scape to navigate.

The show will be titled Planning Permission, in the aims to highlight the comical complexity of not only the premise of the fantastical builds but also the slow bureaucratic process of permitted development.”

Planning Permission is organized by Artist-run platform @freshsaladart thank you for including my artwork in this!

PV: Friday 23rd January, 6.30 - 8-30pm

The show will be open @gallery19a in Brighton, UK between the 24th Jan - 3rd Feb 2026.

Install shots from my solo @galeriathegoma Press Release:
The works of the British artist Bobby Dowler couple a bold, forceful use of colour with a process of assembling, cutting and overlayering materials that challenges the narrativity and illusionism normally associated with conventional painting. The uneven brushwork, the fluctuating density of impasto and the array of materials he uses in his compositions are counterpointed by the somewhat desacralized geometric forms—quadrilaterals in the case at hand—that balance the prevailing thrust of fluidity and chance.
By incorporating pre-worked materials and discarded paintings by friends as well as other amateur artists—often left to languish, victims of the changing schools of painterly thought and fashions—Dowler not only works with the remnants of post-industrial culture and an economy of means, but also splits open the timeframe in the resulting painting-objects. The succession of layers and windows would, at once, seem to replicate the dynamism of the artist’s self-imposed sequential process when it comes to approaching his work: gathering and then combining the elements underpinning the work in consecutive ateliers, even in the exhibition space, until coming up with a solution.
In Reasonable Adjustments Dowler has assembled different-sized stretchers in pairs and then applied colour uniformly across the relined canvases. In the recalibration and symbiosis arising from these combinations, the contours of these adjustments, however blurred, begin to emerge. But Reasonable Adjustments also seems to incorporate those necessary adjustments from his more generic practice. From a historicist perspective, the fluidity and detachment of his colour fields outweigh the constraints of excessive formalism of certain art movements, delivering a laconic critique of modernism’s promise. From a social perspective, in a society whose systemic flaws have been exposed, the artist grounds his material practice in recycling the leftover works and materials of other artists as well as on regeneration from his own production. From a no less important generational focus, depending on who you ask, it might appear...................
