About Jeff Owen

My art is made of steel. My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment, direct metal sculpture. My material is found metal.

My creative process emerges with patterns. I incorporate patterns into all of my sculpture. Taking one piece of steel, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the sculpture encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work on a sculpture to completion. It is finished when the creative flow ends.
I have been an artist all my life. I am fascinated with engineering and architecture. The shapes of metal, its patterns, textures and grains; all entice me to create. My ability to cut and weld metal allows me to create any art I desire.

My aspiration is to create sculpture that is different and unique, that no one has done before. I resist conformity and mass production. My art is as individual as I am.
