Works by Christie Owen
Her minimalistic style is not based solely on reduction, but involves a bit of modification, layering, and subtraction with both a painterly and sculptural approach. It is a physically labor-intensive and intuitive process where she preserves the happy accidents and focuses on developing surface structure, form and color variations until she finds balance. She pushes paint, sand layers, drag pencils, rip paper, and manipulate the materials until she finds something interesting.
