About the artist
Drawing inspiration from aerial views of cities and maps, James Fowler’s acrylic, oil and gouache works on canvas, paper, and wood are playfully geometric and resonate with the digital world, and culture of online information distribution. His non-traditional landscape paintings borrow from cartography and geometric abstraction, and celebrate both urban centres and rural living. Westy focuses on the area close to Gladstone House, which is in the lower right section of the painting.
