Pearls from Duane Bousfield


Refined through four decades of dedicated studio practice, Duane Bousfield reveals Pearls, a series of intimate oil paintings that embody the slow, transformative process of creation. Through transparent glazes, scratched details, and various paint events, we see into the layered surfaces like gems.

This series will be exhibited at
 Franklin Bowles Gallery,
431 West Broadway, SoHo, NY
from August 20 -September 21, 2025

Reception: Saturday, September 13th 1-4pm
