Damon Kowarsky is an esteemed contemporary artist. He is inspired by architecture, the colours of the earth and sky, and the relationship between nature and non-natural worlds. Across his practice he has worked in printmaking, drawing and illustration, creating imagery informed by his frequent travels around the world.
The 2023 etching and aquatint, ‘Les Deux Ponts’ features an evocative scene of a bird flying over a river in an urban setting. Using a minimal colour palette characteristic of Kowarsky’s style, this work pictures a white bird flying above a backdrop of brown buildings and greenery, reflected across a rippling river below. While inspired by scenery witnessed during overseas travels, this image could belong to anyone who dreams of a sleepy town welcoming them home.
Kowarsky has received numerous awards since graduating from the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts. He is a current brand ambassador for Faber Castell and has been awarded the Toyota Community Spirit Artist Travel Award and Collie Trust Scholarship in recent years. He has featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally in institutions like the Warrnambool Art Gallery, the Islamic Museum of Australia and Megalo Print Studio.
For collectors of graphic works, ‘Les Deux Ponts’ is a coveted find.
