Artist Statement for Kate Owen
|
|
|
For the past five years, my work has been all about the Australian Outback. Vast, uncompromising (rather like my good self),and so varied that the possibilities for expression are endless...
Outback Australia is colour! Strange, impossible colour.
It is texture and diversity! Seductive plays between wet and dry, sharp and smooth, density and the ephemeral... the list goes on.
It is all about light! Brash, bleaching, showing every fault and then at times mysteriously absent in shadows that surprise of frighten. One doesn't need to keep stumbling over animal bones to realise it is a theatre of life and death.
Then again, there is the 'Outback' that is not on the stereotypical postcard or tourist trail. 'Unremarkable' terrain which spans vast distances and only rewards those who 'look' for its beauty: endless grasslands, scrublands, salt country, stone and gibber deserts, dust plains, sand banks, claypans and swamps. As one moves more into the reality and feel of this country, its language expands and while its beauty impacts on the psyche more subtly it does so with amazing power and permanence.
My aim as an outback artist is to express my feelings for the boundlessness, the minutiae and the strange spiritual energy of This Ancient Land.
To see more of my work, please visit my on-line galleries at www.kateowen.com.au or, if you are able to, come to my new two storey art gallery: Kate Owen Gallery and Studio, 680 Darling Street, Rozelle, Sydney (we sell my work as well as work by many famous aboriginal artists) - They look great together and paintings are so much better in the flesh!
