Colin John Bowler is a self-taught artist from Nottinghamshire who has mastered his craft through years of dedicated experimentation and passion. Without formal training, Colin has honed his skills in copper work and woodworking, developing a distinctive approach to his creativity.
Colin's work is about redefining space by transforming raw materials into timeless pieces that are both functional and aesthetically compelling. He blends the rigid beauty of copper with the natural warmth of wood, always exploring the dynamic interplay of line, form, and texture.
"My art is a journey of transformation—an unconventional path that takes ordinary materials and infuses them with life and meaning," says Colin. "I aim to create a visual narrative that resonates with the emotions and experiences of every observer."
The rich industrial heritage and lush landscapes of Nottinghamshire greatly influence his work. The region’s rustic beauty and strong traditions of craftsmanship are evident in the detail and passion that define his creations.
Colin creates his work as one-of-a-kind pieces and typically does not sell them, preferring instead to create on commission for private collectors. His work continues to inspire a deep appreciation for the timeless art of craftsmanship.
Operating from his workshop in the heart of Nottinghamshire, Colin John Bowler embodies the spirit of self-made creativity and the endless possibilities of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
