‘Music To My Eyes’ challenges us to reconsider our notions of photography and encourages us to reimagine what is possible within a medium we engage with almost every day.
Simon Bowman ‘Jnr’, is an artist living and working in Accra, Ghana. He received his Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi. Bowman’s interest in the medium of photography underlies his experiments with Analogue Photography which involves him manipulating chemicals, processes, materials, devices and techniques of this primitive technology - to see what possibilities lie outside of it; often pushing photography past documentation into abstraction. His works have featured at several exhibitions including - ‘In Dialogue’, Alliance francais, Accra [2021], ‘Evolution of Science exhibition’, Museum of science and technology, Accra. [2018], ‘Orderly Disorderly’, Museum of Science and technology, Accra [2017] and ‘Cornfields in Accra’, Museum of Science and Technology, Accra [2016] - two large scale exhibitions organized by blaxTARLINES KUMASI in Accra, Ghana. He was a finalist in the ‘Kuenyehia Art Prize for Contemporary Ghanaian Art’ [2018] and the 2022 ‘CFAO Young Talent Competition’.
