The raw beauty of the Welsh landscape, with its winding roads leading to smatterings of rubble-stoned cottages, dramatic coastlines and mountainous countryside, isn’t lost on Stephen John Owen.
1 of 9 and from humble beginnings, Stephen John Owen allowed his passion for art and the inspiration of the landscape around him, to elevate him to success in the art world. Despite being self-taught, his work can now be found in private collections across the globe and he is renowned for selling out a show. Initially encouraged by his aunt, he still works with her pallet knife and brushes today, providing him with a daily reminder to work with that very same childlike joy that she instilled within him at the start of his creative journey.
Stephen John Owen tends to use a limited pallet for each of his paintings, selecting colour based on his own mood and the emotion he wants to convey behind the work. With his ability to narrow down pallet, select, outline and simplify shape, Owen highlights and creates space for the viewer to see the true allurement of the places he paints and loves. Simplicity seems to be a theme, not only with the work but the artist himself: ‘I see things how they are, and I paint them as such’. However what isn’t simple, is the evocative response, people seemingly so far removed from the Welsh landscape, are still able to have to his work.
