Owens unique compositions are evocative of macro and microcosms. With a flavor of retro-futurism, they suggest a merging of nature and technology, blurring the line between positive and negative space. The metallic surfaces are influenced by movement, motion, dance and music.

The three-dimensional surface of this 18 inch high by 60 inch wide artwork is created with metal, metallic acrylic paint and other media. The sides are painted black. It is signed on the back by the artist. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Ryan Shane Owen is an artist and musician from Vancouver, BC. Heavily influenced by the dynamics and expression of musical composition, Ryan’s works capture movement in stillness and sound in silence. Early on, Ryan’s curiosity for nature led to an effervescent, artistic expression characterized by action, energy and progression. His works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected in the US and Canada.

Ryan is inspired by many aspects of the arts including music and dance, architecture, calligraphy, textiles, fashion, op art, cubism, art deco, art nouveau, abstract expressionism and impressionism. He has worked in various mediums including illustration, silk screening, oil painting, sculpture, and video. For Ryan Shane Owen, the “harmonies of life” shape the foundation for creative interpretation through a fusion of sound and space.

Merging aspects of the sculptural with the pictorial, his artworks grew out of an experimentation with leftover scraps from building construction and a childhood propensity for puzzles. Constructed with metal, wood, cardboard, paper, glue, and acrylic, oil and enamel/spray paint, the pieces incorporate the artists experience with techniques such as paper mache, sewing, and woodworking. less
