What Was Supposed To Happen

Max Bowden

Max Bowden’s economic brushstrokes, laid quickly under environmental pressure, give rise to refined impressions. Her plein air renditions deftly replicate the fleeting shadows, shifting light and delicate hues associated with the Northern Territories remarkable and revered seasons. A particular favourite is the wet season where the storms roll in from the Timor sea in spectacular fury; Steel grey sky collides with the turquoise sea. Max states ‘I have loved painting in oil since I was 16 years old. I used to paint in a more realistic style from photos. Now I just go outside and paint no matter what the weather, whatever I see. This is my favourite thing to do, you don’t get a ‘realistic’ painting but I have a lot of fun.’

The exhibition runs from 13 November - 12 December
