Jared Owens

Biography
Jared Owens is a visual artist who creates abstract work that navigates the politics of art-making within the carceral archipelago. 

Owens’ work is a vibrant kaleidoscope of evocative forms and configurations that encapsulates the tenuous existence of the creative when confined to a liminal physical space.

 

The vastness of his bold color palette, combined with his distinct use of shading via boxed or broad strokes, suggests that his work is a commentary on the complex experience of being only partly seen and known by society.

 

In the center of many of his pieces, we find abstract replicants of the amorphous self–what might be interpreted as the spirit of a man still under construction but still deserving of attention and celebration.
