Day Bowman: a painter whose work lies on the axis of figuration and abstraction.

In my latest body of work I have set out to investigate how and why we travel the landscapes of Britain that are passed through, ignored or deleted from the collective memory.

Whilst the paintings represent snapshots of journeys taken through cities, suburbs, retail parks, parking lots and endless motorways, the rear-view mirror - a constant in the works - represents a two-way mirror of past and future.  The mirror comes to represent a gateway, very much in the present, but allowing us to reflect on what has gone before and what might take place.

Thus our daily journeys to work, the station or retail parks is laid open and the routine criss-crossing the land and our daily lives is brought into focus; journeys which we absorb, acknowledge or ignore.
