Who is Trevor Bowman? Print E-mail
Written by Martin Boyle   

In drawing inspiration from icons of our time, Bowman's work provides personality to contemporary pop culture. He boldly explores the humour in today's society and the oversaturation of idolization, the media, and consumerism. Bowman uses old mirrors and window frames as his canvases, as well as old doors and a variety of surfaces that result in the recycled, retro feel of his work. His current series of works, New School Lounge Pop, is the manifestation of Bowman's playful perception of reality.

His experience began with a formal education in the fine arts at Sheridan College and has continued to grow, establishing himself as an ascending Toronto artist with participation in such events as Virgin Thread Market, Fashion Cares and Nuit Blanche.

In addition to creating his personal pieces, Bowman has expanded his artistic experiences with his involvement as a layout artist and layout supervisor in animated productions, as well as by working as a storyboard artist on several high-end commercials. Contributing to Bowman's growth as an artist was his move to Sydney, Australia in 2002, when he did the storyboard work for Fox Studios' short film, Good Luck Jeffrey Brown. While in Sydney, Bowman also produced a one-man gallery show and worked on the Silverchair animated music video, Luv Your Life.

Bowman presently works as a freelance illustrator and graphic artist focusing primarily on design for t-shirts and band logos, layout and design for CDs, and storyboarding for commercials.
