Popis predmetu

In this early painting by Owens, blue and white impasto teardrops punctuate a thinly airbrushed background of soft, peachy colors. Small vignettes of the artist and her studio appear as both reflections upon and scenes within the gestural drops, providing visual and psychological insight into her artistic process. The counterclockwise spiral of the hard-edged triangular forms plays against the apparent randomness of the expressively rendered droplets, an idiosyncratic merging of different formal techniques. What results is a painting that reflects upon the often arbitrary division of historical styles (geometric abstraction and gestural expression) and tropes (non-objective and Pop Art imagery).

Laura Owens: A Singular Vision of Texture and Form

Laura Owens (born Euclid, Ohio, 1970) stands apart in the landscape of contemporary American art—a figure whose distinctive approach to painting has garnered critical acclaim and cemented her place as one of the most influential artists working today. Her canvases are characterized by an obsessive preoccupation with texture, layering pigment onto surfaces with meticulous care, creating intricate patterns that defy easy categorization. This singular vision stems from a deeply rooted fascination with both scientific observation and poetic contemplation—a duality evident in her artistic process and thematic concerns. Owens’s formative years were marked by exposure to the avant-garde art scene of Cincinnati, where she honed her skills at Xavier University’s Art Department. Early influences included Surrealist painters like René Magritte and Giorgio Morandi, whose explorations of illusion and understated beauty instilled in Owens a commitment to formal experimentation alongside emotional resonance. However, it was her encounter with the work of Willem Owen—particularly his evocative poetry about war and landscape—that profoundly shaped her artistic sensibility. Owen’s insistence on confronting difficult truths with lyrical grace served as a guiding principle for Owens, encouraging her to grapple with complex issues of identity and representation within her paintings. Her breakthrough came in 2003 with the exhibition “Untitled” at Regen Projects in Los Angeles, showcasing a series of canvases that immediately established Owens’s reputation for groundbreaking innovation. These works—characterized by their bold color palettes, fragmented compositions, and tactile surfaces—were hailed as a triumph of abstraction, rejecting traditional notions of perspective and narrative while simultaneously conveying profound psychological depth. Critics praised Owens's ability to transform seemingly disparate elements into unified visual experiences—a testament to her masterful control over technique and her unwavering dedication to artistic exploration. Since then, Owens has continued to push boundaries, experimenting with new materials and processes—including ceramic glaze and resin—to expand the expressive possibilities of painting. Her studio practice is driven by a relentless pursuit of formal perfection, informed by an ongoing dialogue with art history and fueled by a desire to engage viewers in contemplative reflection. Notably, she collaborated with Dame Alice Owen’s School in Potters Bar, UK, creating artwork inspired by British modernist art and exploring themes of heritage and artistic legacy. Her teapot imagery—a recurring motif in her oeuvre—represents not merely an object but a vessel for conveying emotion and memory—a symbolic gesture that underscores the artist's profound understanding of human experience. Owens’s enduring influence extends beyond her own paintings, inspiring younger artists to embrace experimentation and challenge conventional artistic conventions. Her work has been exhibited internationally, securing its place as a cornerstone of contemporary art discourse and solidifying her status as one of America’s most celebrated painters—a singular voice committed to transforming the visual realm through texture, color, and unwavering intellectual curiosity.
