Robert Owen

Re-Vision

Arc One Gallery
Wednesday 16 AprilSaturday 31 May

This exhibition takes its title from

a complex, multifaceted work, ReVision (Melancolia) by Robert Owen devised in 1987. Revisiting it today, it is comprised of eighty-one painted acrylic canvas boards, each panel devoted to a colour representing a planet in our solar system. Earthy orange-red tones in the spirit of the planet Mars command the east and south edges, while the remaining hues drift, pulse, and play across the surface of the work’s universe.

Striking thin black tape, carefully layered

across this world, becomes a spatial tool

and conceptual anchor where Owen plays with dimension and depth. “I then played with stereoscopic effects by floating two cubes above each other and seeing them snap into 3D, with the implication of solid and transparent 4D hypercubes,” he observes. These visual devices are carried throughout Owen’s practice once appearing and reappearing with infinite potential.
