New Artwork for 2011 from Jeff Owen

Happy New Year,

Alas, the winning mega-lotto numbers did not match the numbers that our cat whispered to me late last New Year’s Eve, boy that was a great party. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to keep working. Speaking of working, I have been. Take a look!

I was really, really busy at the end of last year working on a glass and steel commission that turned out awesome. I’ll post photos in Gallery 4 soon.

I also had another large wall piece commissioned - and it came out fantastic. Thanks Janet! I am ready for more!!!  Here’s the piece on the wall:

To all my southern California clients, I’ll be showing at the Southwest Arts Festival in Indio, CA in January from the 28th through the 30th, (my first show of the year) so, if you have bought from me BUT have not yet met me, come on over to beautiful Palm Springs / Indio for the weekend and come see me!

I am looking forward to a fantastic 2011!

Large Wall Sculpture for Incline Village

I've been working on a large wall sculpture for a client in Incline Village, NV. A 7 foot by 3.5 foot abstract of playing card suits. It's looking great. Cold Rolled sheet steel with backing. Will look great in the dining room.

I should be installing it in 2 weeks or so. Will look great in place.

I am working on more of this type of work, in HOT rolled steel with my own completely abstract patterns, patterns that I create on the computer with a pen tablet using Adobe Illustrator.

I can't wait to get another sheet and get something great going.

Jeff Owen describes his art as the past combined into the present, mingling of age, time, and space into congruent single form, the many into one. His technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. His creative process emerges with patterns that he incorporates into all of his sculptures. He creates art that is completely unique, something no one has done before. He resists conformity and mass production and that his art is as individual as he is.

Jeff Owen has recently collaborated with glass artist Marc Demian to create metal-glass sculptures. Marc Demian’s intimate knowledge of ceramics as a son of a respected potter, allows him to create unique molds to achieve unusual shapes in glass. Growing up with an artist has given him an adventurous curiosity, mixing glass with clay, metal and wood. Currently, he is exploring textured and patterned glass in high relief. Marc Demian intends his work to be joyful in spirit and sophisticated in rendition. His work can be seen in fine galleries around the country and in private collections around the world. www.demianglass.com
