Six Summit Gallery - SSG Presents: Facial Recognition - Marc Bouwer - First Ever Solo Art Show

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marc Bouwer has attained worldwide recognition as a fashion designer is now releasing his first ever solo show as an artist. The show called Facial Recognition is a journey of the imagination, personality, and story through colorful engrossing portraiture and abstractions - painted mostly by Marc during the pandemic by repurposing discarded canvas, cardboard, and wood.

The faces painted with dry acrylic in colorful neon hues and black backgrounds emerge as individual personalities evoking distinct stories, allowing the mind to create a persona and experience just by looking.

As an acclaimed fashion designer and creative director, he has dressed luminaries such as Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Whitney Houston, Shania Twain, Emily Blunt, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Issa Rae, Kelsea Ballerini, Jane Fonda, Sigourney Weaver and many more.

Bouwers talent as a designer is at the highest level as Cosmopolitan Magazine cited his Angelina Jolie Academy Award dress as "one of the best Oscar dresses of all time" and Harper's Bazaar named it "one of 100 best red-carpet dresses".

Bouwer's designs have graced the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Vanity Fair, Glamour and Vibe Magazine among others, and he has received multiple awards for avoiding animal products including PETA Humanitarian Award, and The United States Humane Societies "Compassion in Fashion Award".

He now is returning to his roots as a student, a time when he specialized in painting and sculpture. His exhibition is being represented by Six Summit Gallery in New York City, at a special runway inspired location at 510 West 42nd Street.
