Peter Bowyer

Selected Works

1999-2007

Since the 1980s Peter Bowyer has produced installations combining drawing and sculpture, large scale works realized in public sites, simulated furniture and more recently animated film. In these numerous works he has re-contextualized aspects of the everyday world, borrowing from the spatial configurations and furnishings of food courts, shopping malls, subway platforms and departure lobbies. He has had solo exhibitions at The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (2006), The Art Gallery of York University (2003), The Toronto Sculpture Garden (2000), The Power Plant, Toronto (1995), Cold City Gallery (1999, 1996, 1992,1991,1989, 1987) and elsewhere.
