David and Reed Bowman's low relief wall pieces are bold yet minimalist one-of-a-kind abstract compositions in a range of traditional and modern sculptural patinas. In this one, designed by Reed Bowman, the large panel in delicately modeled brown patina - the same patina seen on classical bronze sculptures - appears to be cinched in by a belt of rustically patinaed 'bricks' in multiple shades of green and blue-green. The traditional brown patina is applied by brush while heating the metal with a torch, while the 'bricks' are individually patinaed either with washes of highly reactive cold patina, or by burying the piece in coarse sawdust permeated with another patina solution, or a combination of both. Some of the belt course bricks are copper rather than brass, to give different colors in combination with the same patinas.

Like most of the artists' pieces, this wall piece can be hung at any angle to different effect. These wall pieces have great visual mass, but are actually quite light in weight. They are composed of thin-walled hollow pans of brass individually fabricated and bolted together after the patination process is complete.

David M Bowman Studio
"Our sense of form and composition comes from close and long study of natural forms, architecture from all periods, the compositions of the masters of painting, and the work of other contemporary and ancient craftspeople. "

David M. Bowman Studio consists of two people: David Mills Bowman and his son, Reed Christopher Bowman. David and Reed craft most pieces together. They construct all pieces by hand, with hand tools and simple machines. No part of the production is ever hired out, nor does the studio take in work to produce or patina parts for other artists' designs. Wall pieces are one of a kind.

All of their work is produced from brass sheet and rod, formed into shape, and brazed together using an oxyacetylene welding torch. David and Reed mix patina chemicals from scratch and apply them by hand.

David began working in metal in 1971, near the time Reed was born; he first made silver jewelry, and later moved on to brass belt buckles, then to larger pieces in patinated brass. Over the years, David has worked alone or with different assistants, but he has worked exclusively with Reed since the mid-1990s.
