Joe Sweeney x Hollie Bowden Live Laugh Love II, 2020
Hollie Bowden is a multi-disciplinary design studio based in London, UK. The studio works in various mediums and across a range of design projects both at home in Europe and internationally. Hollie Bowden’s artworks are deeply connected to their environment and have a solid command on integrating indigenous mediums with contemporary comfort. Each of her projects is not ultimately taste-driven, they evolve from a strategic point of view to a practical way to see it, and apply a perceptive approach to each of her pieces . Joe Sweeney is an artist who explores how people feel isolated and communicate in today's world. His art is based on his own struggles and what he sees around him and also challenges the idea that Britain is stuck in the past by using humor and art to talk about time, memories, and what lasts forever. He represents all of this feeling through sculptures, prints, videos, and installations. Also he is invested in finding big ideas in ordinary things, like trash or strange moments in life. His art makes us think about how fast things change and what's really important in life. By looking closely at British quirks, he wants us, the public, to stop and to think about the small moments we usually ignore through our day to day.
