From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


David Bowes is an American painter, born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1957, and first recognized during the early 1980s in New York's East Village. Despite being heterosexual, Bowes was a lover of Jean Michel Basquiat.[1][2]

He has been described as being a "brilliant painter",[3] and having a "delicacy of touch and genuine fascination with the medium of paint."[4]

Bowes' work is exhibited in the United States and Europe. He participated in the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999.[5] His work is held in the collection of the Walker Art Center.[6]
