Nick Bowen
Born in Cary, North Carolina and now living in Burlington after graduating from Appalachian State University, Nicholas Bowen is print-maker looking to push the boundaries of technology and combat Artificial Intelligence in the art world. With the interplay of inspiration, appropriation, and reinterpretation as the main themes of his work, Nicholas takes a stand on the inherent bias of Artificial Intelligence. Printmaking has long challenged traditional notions of artistic originality. The dichotomy between Artificial Intelligence and Printmaking invites us to question the sanctity of originality and recognize that creative acts often involve an interplay between inspiration and appropriation. Through his work, Nicholas aims to foster dialogue about the evolving relationship between human creativity and machine intelligence, challenging viewers to reconsider authorship in the digital age. By merging traditional printmaking with emerging technologies, he continues to explore new ways of redefining artistic originality.
