DAMON KOWARSKY
Contemporary and Collectable Australian Printmakers
16– 30 July
Damon Kowarsky studied printmaking at VCA and Glasgow School of Art and Advanced Figure Drawing with Godwin Bradbeer at RMIT.
Since graduating he has exhibited regularly in Australia and abroad and
worked as a scientific, courtroom, and archaeological illustrator. In 2002
he assisted on a dig for the Dakhleh Oasis Project Egypt.
Kowarsky has travelled extensively in North Africa, West Asia, Europe and
the Middle East. Architecture and the colours of earth and sky inspire much
of his work.
In 2007 he taught drawing at Beaconhouse National University Lahore and
studied miniature painting under Murad Mumtaz and Mahreen Zuberi. In February
2010 he taught printmaking at Indus Valley School Karachi and held a very
successful solo exhibition at Alhamra Art Gallery Lahore.
Kowarsky recently participated in the 3rd Luxor International Painting Symposium
in Egypt and returned to Australia from travels along the Silk Road in Iran
and Uzbekistan. He is currently working on a series of prints inspired by
these experiences.
