Owen Harvey Visual Artist Exhibiting: Egg Medium: oil on wood panel Dimensions: 16" x 12" On participating in Vagina Festival 2008: An egg is potential. This painting, outside of its formal qualities, is about the family, inclusion, and the possibility of future life. Artist Statement: I believe this new body celebrates the expansion of a personal history of abstraction, bringing it into the contemporary with a lightness. In an attempt to keep geometric abstraction fresh and to re-invent it for myself, I asked: How can you take the lessons of history and make them relevant? Can they become departures for new ideas? Bringing in perspective, via the triangles or broken rectangles, provides the illusion that things are receding and coming forward. Playing with transparency and opacity keeps the work from falling into something flat or stylized. The new work employs a humor that complements the weight of historical abstraction.
