Laura Owens

The euphoric playfulness of Owens’ painting resists classification.She describes her practice as porous, absorbing a steady flow of diverse influences, from folk art to landscape, from decorative art to portraiture. Attracted to little known and anonymous artists, where an identifiable ego is absent, Owens’ work is remarkably modest. Her opus defies any notion of a linear trajectory of thematic progression, as each piece appears to present a new beginning.
