Canadian artist Jonathon Earl Bowser has established a presence in the international art marketplace. After graduating from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 1984 (on the President’s Honor Roll), he went directly into a brief career in commercial art. Since 1989, he has dedicated himself to fine art and his own creative vision, in the landscapes of his childhood home and in unique figurative images that explore the mythological dimension of the spirit. Jonathon’s intricate paintings of the Rocky Mountains are not only in government and corporate collections in Alberta, but also in many private collections across North America, Europe, and in collections in China and Taiwan.
Since childhood, Jonathon has been inspired by the awesome beauty and mystery of the natural world. He strives in his landscapes to re-acquaint the public with the grandeur of familiar places or introduce them to the spectacular vistas of the more remote mountain wilderness known only to the hikers and backpackers. In his figurative work, Jonathon takes his reverence a step further, developing what he describes as Mythic Naturalism. From shadowy forest cathedrals and misty mountain fortresses, to the unknown depths of the celestial ocean, he seeks the unseen Poetry of Nature, the intention of the world - incarnate in Jonathon’s work as serenely still and inscrutably silent Goddesses.
Jonathon has many creative passions. He has written and published a book entitled The Lotus Maiden – An Artist’s Search for the Secret of the Sky Goddess which contemplates some rare and poignant themes of art and spirit through 296 extensively illustrated pages. He is also a musician and has composed orchestral soundtracks for his ongoing series of art videos. These short musical vignettes, which slowly meander through Jonathon’s work in great visual detail, are a new and exciting way to pursue the elusive themes of his work.
