Constructions...Deductions and Reductions, a selection of Thomas B. Bowker’s new works in his first Miami solo exhibition opened last night at Charest-Weinberg Gallery. Bowker’s heightened degree of awareness taps into the nuances of the human condition, which he visually communicates through a variety of dissimilar materials. “This challenges me to develop meaningful relationships between the materials to communicate the message I have set out for the piece,” he explains. Inspired by a fleeting moment, a gesture, a word or a phrase, a form or a color, Bowker begins with the message, which is often a personally held belief melded with political and social commentary.
