Living with Imagination: Palm Beach Artist participating in the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series

Local artist Caron Bowman will be participating in “The Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series” Miami Regional Finale Event. The Series showcases the best emerging artist around the United States

West Palm Beach, FL, October 06, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Palm Beach County artist Caron Bowman has been selected to participate in the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series. Bombay Sapphire and Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation national competition, now in its 5th year, attracts thousands of applicants from around the country. The series showcases the best emerging artist around the United States. Caron’s art piece the Voice (Back to Black) was chosen by Bombay Sapphire to be displayed in Miami. The “Voice (Back to Black)” truly captures Caron’s unique drawing style of strong outlines and cubic abstraction. Best known for her high intensity use of color, the “Voice (Back to Black) “was a departure - with the use of a grisaille color pallet. Furthermore, she said that "I wanted to go back to basics and explore the monochromatic juxtaposition of black and white which is the basis of a tonal perspective”. She is not abandoning color but wanted the viewer to focus on the complexity of her drawings.

This is the second time Caron has participated in the Series. According to Caron,” the series has been a catalyst for me. Since my first participation in 2011, I have really gained a lot more national attention and it is due in part to my association with the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series. I think the platform is a wonderful opportunity for emerging artist to grow and develop their careers. I am honored to be able to participate once more in the Series”

The selected artist will have their work displayed at a series of gallery exhibitions and events, taking place from September through November in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. From the gallery show in the 10 cities 1 winner per city will go onto SCOPES Miami.

“The Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series has established itself as a platform for emerging artists who seek to shape our contemporary cultural landscape—artists who look to defy boundaries with the power of their imagination,” says Russell Simmons, Chairman of GlobalGrind.com and co-founder of the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. “With the extraordinary success of last year’s program, I am excited to see what emerges from this year’s roster of talent.”

The Miami Regional finale for the series will be held at the prestigious Brisky Gallery in Miami’s Wynwood District . The opening reception will be held during Wynwood’s 2nd Saturday Art Walk. To attend Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series Miami event simply RSVP at Miami@BombaySapphireArtisanSeries.com
