Dale Bowen was born in Staffordshire in 1963, where he still lives and works today. Having studied Art at college in Newcastle, Dale went on to work as a master potter; first at Coalport China and later at Wedgewood, where he stayed for fifteen years. During his time in the prestige department he created many notable commissions, including pieces for the Queen Mothers 100th birthday and HMS Victory celebrations. His works were exhibited in museums worldwide, fetching prices in excess of £100,000.

Declaring painting as his first love, Dale Bowen more recently returned his paintbrushes to canvas, and has experienced phenomenal success in doing so. His playful acrylic originals are packed with colour and texture, proving themselves to be extremely popular with adults and children alike. Animals, people and vehicles are hidden amongst the vibrant, whimsical landscapes, with the humorous titles of each work revealing the artists evident affection for each scene.

Bowens delightful pieces are popular the length and breadth of the country, with his Limited Edition collections consistently selling out in record time. The joy with which he paints is evident in each and every one of his creations, and is equaled only by those fortunate enough to own them.

What is a Giclée Print? – pronounced ‘zhee-klay’

So, a giclée print is a high quality fine art reproduction. Archival pigment inks are sprayed on to an archival fine art paper or canvas.
Because of this, Jack Duganne coined the term ‘Giclée’, since it’s a French word meaning ‘a spray or a squirt of liquid’. The term ‘giclée print’ is used to describe the giclée printing process. Accordingly, images are created from the high-resolution digital capture of original artwork. Then they are printed using archival quality inks onto archival fine art substrates. Hence, canvas and fine art papers are used to achieve giclée prints with exceptional stability and lightfastness.
