Resonance Of My Body

Welcome to the captivating world of the artist Bruce Bowale. In this debut solo exhibition, the artist invites you to embark on a journey through the realms of existence, coexistence, milieu, sociocultural events, educational systems, humanity and social economic states soothing through the human experience, the human body, the human expression, the interconnectedness, the moments, the resonance, and the storytelling. With his mixed mediums, the artist breathes life into their vision, offering a glimpse into their unique perspective on the echoes of his body, mind and soul.

Drawing inspiration from his own family history and photographs, his upbringing and his community, and finding resonance in the Literature Book “Poor Folk/s” by Tokelo Hlagala. Bruce Bowale masterfully intertwines a short-story “For Whom The Bell Tolls” found within the book, to his art making practice and using his art materials such as lead, charcoal, extra soft pastels, ink, watercolours, and Literature text to processing and creating this cohesive body of work that transcends boundaries and resonates with viewers on a profound level. From the ethereal beauty of the artwork “Breathe” to the thought-provoking exploration of the artwork “Self-Reflection (Diptych)” each piece serves as a testament to the artist’s boundless creativity and unwavering dedication to their craft.

As you wander through the artworks, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of emotions and narratives woven into each artwork. Whether evoking a sense of nostalgia, sparking introspection, or simply igniting a moment of pure joy, Bruce Bowale’s work speaks volumes without uttering a word.

This debut solo exhibition Resonance Of My Body isn’t merely a display of art; it is an invitation to connect, to reflect, and to be moved. Join me in celebrating the talent and vision of our Artist in his work, and experience first-hand the magic that unfolds when imagination meets expression.
