New Sun 

David Michael Bowers created this evocative painting, "New Sun," with oil on canvas. The way the paint is applied is crucial to the work's impact. Bowers seems to have used thin washes of color, allowing them to bleed and blend, building up layers of luminous depth. The canvas itself becomes a ground for atmospheric effects, almost like a clouded sky. Close attention was given to the oil's inherent qualities of viscosity, color, and luminosity. These materials and processes are rooted in a long tradition of easel painting, and fine art. Bowers coaxes remarkable effects from his chosen medium. The result is a work that transcends mere representation, inviting us to contemplate the unseen forces that shape our world. By attending to the materials and making of art, we can move beyond traditional hierarchies and appreciate the full scope of creative expression.
