Bio

Alexander Owen (b. 1996) lives and works in London.

Through his work, Owen explores the relationship between new digital media and painting. Owen’s works look at the way objects can interact and behave outside of what would be possible in the real world through the use of digital 3D rendering softwares. The final aesthetic of Owen’s paintings don’t shy away from their digital origins, mimicking the smooth textures and high contrast of the rendered world.

Through the lens of contemporary queer culture, current works have a focus on hardware, tools and the machismo of trade; exploring the prevalent link between these themes and queer culture both in current times and past.
