Laura Owens

Los Angeles based artist Laura Owens will have her first solo show in Japan. Owens’ paintings range from representational works depicting people as well as flora and fauna, to works that are constructed from geometric patterns that waver somewhere between abstract and landscape paintings. Her method is a mélange of the daring and the delicate; at times she pushes acrylic paint oozing out of tubes directly onto the canvas, and at other times she carefully pastes pieces of cloth and paper onto her collage-style drawings. In 2003, she was the youngest artist to have been given a solo showing at the LA MOCA and also participated in the 2004 Whitney Biennale. This show will include some works that have never been presented before, adding up to about 6 large paintings and 15 drawings.
