From Scrap to Marvel
Jack and Jill
I saw Jeff Owen's sculptures two and half years ago. The ones I saw were modern kinetic theater. I vowed to put his work on our collector's list. Then an odd thing happened. Owen's contact information went MIA.
Owen's business card resurfaced yesterday... in a pocket of one of my husband's dress pants. He could not remember why he had it. Today, I remembered. It all flooded back to me upon thorough exam of the card. A couple of years ago, I stopped and awed at the enormous, calderesque, tightrope act styled mobiles on display. I chatted with Jeff Owen on his creations, took his card, and gave it to my husband to carry since I traveled light that day - wearing a smoking red dress with no pockets and no purse. That was the mistake. I gave the card to the man to hold.
It's hard not to like an artist who describes his technique as "brute force." He forms his creations at-the-moment. Owen's sculptures are also green. He recycles scrap metal and forges it into 3D wonders.
Owen is a versatile artist. He paints too. See more of his work here.
