Scott Owen
PAINTER, SYDNEY, NSW
What captured your interest in painting initially? I was always quite interested in art, especially anything that was very gestural, like a lot of abstract expressionism. There is something very human about painting and the mix of control and chaos. As with music, it’s a way to express ideas and feelings that are hard to put into words. How would you
describe your art? I predominantly make still-life and landscape works, searching for a balance between the level of description, or likeness to the subject, and a painterly exploration of the medium. I love painting glass vessels, and the way glass distorts light.
Do you take commissions? Yes, I am open to commissions. What price range do you
work in? My works range from $300–$3000. Where can we buy your art? Directly through my website or Instagram, and through upcoming exhibitions at Weswal
Gallery in Tamworth (April), the Robin Gibson and aMBUSH galleries in Sydney, and Cook Street Collective on the Mornington Peninsula. scottowenart.com; @scottowenart
