Acrylic Flow Painting with Maine Artist Scott Bowe

Artist Scott Bowe has long been inspired by the ocean. He spent his formative years enjoying summers at the coastal Maine property his great grandfather acquired. As a college student, he participated in the Semester at Sea program, where he expanded his senses as he traveled around the world.  It wasn’t until he was pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles that Scott began to experiment with art. He adopted a method of painting first created by Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros, who developed a process called acrylic flow painting, or acrylic pour painting, in the 1930’s. This technique allowed him to explore themes of aquatically-inspired movement and constant change. Join our conversation with Scott Bowe on this episode of Radio Maine with Dr. Lisa Belisle.
