Artist Reception in The Gallery: "Texture!" Selected Paintings by Jamie Bowers
2021-07-22 17:00 - 20:00
Join us in The Gallery of The Oxbow Hotel as we gather to observe and enjoy a new art exhibit by local artist, Jamie Bowers!
The collection of paintings, selected to fit the Oxbow Gallery space, was not painted as an exhibit series, yet there is a common theme: Texture! The selected works, all painted on wood panels, were created using a wide variety of textural materials, including fireplace ash, plaster, heavy acrylic, oil, oil crayon, and screen fabric. The colorful, layered paintings are simple in design, yet complicated in their creation process. The paintings beg to be touched. And hopefully, they will likewise touch the viewers who see them in the beautiful Oxbow Hotel Gallery.
ARTIST CHAT
At 6:00 p.m., Jamie will hold a short conversation about his work, and invite questions and comments from guests!
ARTIST BIO
Jamie Bowers is a contemporary abstract painter (and bass player). He has been actively painting since 2000, and has displayed and sold his paintings in a variety of shows and galleries in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota before recently moving to Eau Claire. In addition to the current Oxbow Gallery show, Jamie’s artwork can also be found at Kelley Galleries in Hudson, WI. and Woodbury, MN., and at his own gallery in Banbury Place.
Please visit Jamie’s website to explore more works!

DJ BIO:
“I listen to everything but country music” is something I’ve long heard from many of my friends, and I’ve decided to take that as a challenge. I want to push back on people’s preconceived notions on what country music is and help show folks that have previously dismissed it that it’s nothing to condescend, and that in actuality it’s a rich and wonderful part of American culture. I hope to demonstrate that country music is not only a lot of fun but absolutely deserving of respect and to be seen as credible art. It’s with this mission in mind that I present “Jordy’s Jukebox” at The Lakely.
Jordan Duroe is a founding member of Clear Water Comedy and was on the inaugural team at Converge Radio when it was first formed. He loves music, comedy, and showing people a good time.
