REVIEWS
Sat 5th Jan 2008, The Guardian
Heather Bowring And Alex Dewart Llandudno
‘A small-scale yet engaging exhibition of evocative semi-abstract paintings by Heather Bowring and Alex Dewart. Working for - and sometimes in collaboration with - visually impaired people, Bowring calls her works "sculpted paintings". An accumulation of hundreds of textured dots, her Braille-like images can be read with the fingers as much as viewed with the eyes. Alex Dewart's landscapes (pictured), based initially on computer improvisations, glow with a fantastical wow factor. Dewart calls these suggestive organic expanses "contemporary sublime". They depict Romantic wonderment digitally filtered and sensationally enhanced.’
