About the Artist
Jordan Grace Owens
Jordan Grace Owens is a Durham-based emerging artist who creates abstract, multi-media compositions of fragmented and reassembled shapes. She brings an eye for vibrant color palettes together with an expressive approach to shapes, creating dynamic compositions that suggest a corporeal push and pull. Turning to studio work after a decade-long career in figurative and portrait illustration, Owens’ abstract works explore a fluidity of physical form and probe at the edges of autonomy using shapes that are figurative, shifting, and relational. Much of her work expresses a maternal subjectivity; she works in her studio in the spaces between parenting her two young children. “I approach my abstract shapes like figures, and I’m interested in exploring the relationships between them; the ways they press against, fold around, and even intrude each upon the boundaries of one another.”
