BIO / STATEMENT

Lauder Bowden, born in New York during the Baby Boom era, is an artist and designer. A child of immigrants from Scotland and Hungary, he was encouraged by his father to to pursue the arts and design which culminated with a BFA from Pratt Institute. Fleeting moments of the mundane appeal to his subject matter as well as everyday snapshots of inanimate and animate objects to both display the human condition portrayed through abstraction and narrative works. His work sits in corporate collections and private homes throughout the United States and Europe. He has exhibited at the Grainery Museum, Grand Central Station, and in various parts of New York. His varied series questions kitsch and the revolving door of fashion in our image saturated eta while his other series explores abstraction and space. Bowden is current working on digital reinterpretation of his work created in the early 90s-00s.
