Jeff Owen Artworks

About

My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. Interesting shapes of metal; the patterns, textures, and grains; all entice me to create. I am fascinated with form.

Story

My art is about life. My sculptures combine the past and present. I have an affinity toward the materials I work with, a deep sense of emotion and feeling for what the material was used for at one time and will become in my hands. These thoughts direct me on my path as I sculpt. My sculptures emerge with patterns. I take one piece of steel, add to it, delete from it. I am constantly discovering metal’s unique appeal. When the sculpture encompasses all of my creative energy, I am done.

My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. Interesting shapes of metal; the patterns, textures, and grains; all entice me to create. I am fascinated with form. My aspiration is to make sculpture that is completely unique. I resist conformity and mass production.

My art is as individual as I am.
