ABOUT THE ARTIST

My work is about reality. I like it to be fast paced and intuitive, feeling like I never know what’s going to grab hold of me or appear next. I’m observing society, our systems and other people, but try to keep the essence of what I do as personal and as honest as possible.

- Hilton Owen, 2009
