Biography
Bowy is a Valencian urban artist who paints a dog, and virtually nothing else. The same head recurs from wall to wall over the years, often accompanied by the two words that have become his mark, Good Boy.
The method rests on repetition: by reappearing across every corner of the city, the animal ends up forming a trail that residents recognise without needing to know the artist's name. The motif evolves slowly, the line simplifying or thickening, but the character stays identifiable.
He belongs to the recent generation that took the Valencian scene from a confidential practice to a massive presence in the streets. Asked about that shift, what he takes from it above all is diversity: everyone does what they like as long as no one is harmed, and it is that variety that in his view makes the city rich.
