Drawn to Adorn is his third solo show under the Buckingham Fine Art Group and marks the first time his original work will be shown nationally as part of a touring exhibition.
The exhibition stopped by Soho Brighton on June 27.
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: “I love it, going on the road, it’s like Painting meets rock n roll.
“I’m really proud of these recent pieces, they’re very me, but technically I feel him getting to my peak.
“You don’t get many Pensioners saying that, so I’d love people to come and see for themselves.”
The exhibition features a collection of “fabulously glamorous” works on paper, curated differently at each venue, with influences spanning from Baroque botanical prints to 1980s post-punk cinema.
Best known for his flamboyant designs on television, particularly on Changing Rooms, Mr Llewelyn-Bowen often created original artwork directly onto walls during room transformations.
His artistic journey began with classical fine art training at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, which led to a career adorning interiors throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: “I’m loving painting again after all these years.
“Jackie loves it too, as she says, 40 years ago she fell in love with a long-haired painter and now it’s him that’s back in her life rather than the orange television celebrity she’s been sharing a bed with since Changing Rooms started 29 years ago.”
At the height of Changing Rooms’ popularity, Mr Llewelyn-Bowen became known not just for redesigning rooms but for painting lavish murals and artwork as part of his makeovers.
His decorative work also extends to public spaces, with ceilings at the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly, the Richmond Theatre and the Saint Martins still displaying his early designs.
Now in his 61st year, he has returned to painting with renewed focus and ambition.
Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: “A bit like Doctor Who I’m reincarnating. It’s not like I can escape the TV projects (far from it at the moment) but I’m now making time to really dive deep into my art again”
