About this work

White Heat translates the sensory experience of a single hot day into a work of abstract energy. The composition holds a raw, furnace-like quality in its lower section, where layers of texture and colour converge, before opening into a space of shimmering, hazy light. This contrast between a contained, fiery core and the atmospheric space above gives the work its visual power. Part of Andrew Bowers’ continuing studio practice, the painting explores how physical sensations can be distilled into a quiet structural language.
