ABOUT PEARL COWAN

Pearl Cowan paints landscapes that center nature in such a way that conveys divine meaning and an uplifting of the natural to a supernatural, divine position. Inspired by her own experience detaching from the Christian faith, her paintings combine the natural and the mathematical. Cowan includes repeating geometric forms to create spiritual tension between the man-made, the natural, and the divine.

Her vast landscapes expand outward behind her monumental flowers, evoking romantic representations of nature as seen in the work of the Hudson Valley School artists. Inspired by underlying geometry and hierarchies once used to convey divine meaning in Christian art, Cowan recalibrates convention to convey a broader sense of spirit and mystery in the world. Pearl Cowan received a BFA from The University Of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX.
