Sasha Bowles

(b 1966, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Bowles explores illusion; intervention and metamorphosis through her painting; object making; film and installation. She reinterprets artworks and artefacts by playfully reimagining their architectural and historical contexts. By rearranging elements and imagery from classical paintings; photographs and architectural interiors; she subverts historical narratives; opening up new avenues of interpretation. “I attempt to render the familiar uncanny; in order to challenge us to re-evaluate what we think we know.”
