Tove Bowyer was born in Frederikssund, Denmark but has lived for most of
his life in London, although he now has a second home and
workshop in Denmark and commutes between the
two places. He works in wood, usually
simple female forms which are often lifesize, with a very smooth finish. He also works in stone with a bronze surface,
some of which are also cast in bronze.
More recently he has started making figurative reliefs. He also works as an art model. Exhibitions include Gallery Dragehoj,
Denmark, where he was artist in residence in 1994; Kunst I Brande, Denmark;
