Роберт Оуэн (художник)
Роберт Оуэн (родился в 1937 году) - австралийский художник и куратор. Он живет и работает в Мельбурне , Австралия.
Ранняя жизнь и образование
[ редактировать ]Роберт Оуэн родился в Сиднее в 1937 году и изучал скульптуру в Национальной художественной школе в Сиднее под руководством Линдона Дадсвелла. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
Искусственная практика и карьера
[ редактировать ]Он сыграл формирующую роль в развитии некоторых основных художественных образования и институциональных структур Австралии. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ]
Художественная практика Оуэна включает в себя скульптуру, инсталляцию, живопись, фотографию и крупные общественные комиссии. Его работа связана с поэтической и интуитивной чувствительностью к выразительному потенциалу пространства, света, цвета, контекста и материалов. [ 8 ] На протяжении всей своей карьеры Оуэн «направлял путь между наукой, метафизикой и абстракцией как способом изучения репрезентативного возвышенного». [ 9 ]
После окончания художественной школы в 1962 году Оуэн жил на греческом острове Гидры с 1963 по 1966 год. [ 10 ] и стал частью сообщества экспатриантов, в которую входили Джордж Джонстон , Чармиан Клифт , Уильям Ледерер , Леонард Коэн , [ 11 ] и Джек Хиршман . С 1966 по 1975 год Оуэн жил в Лондоне, где он работал помощником студии Джона Эрнеста , Энтони Хилла [11] and other British Constructionists, and also as a conservator for Victor Pasmore and Ben Nicholson. During this time Owen developed constructionist works and exhibited with Malborough New London Gallery in both London and New York.[11]
In 1975 Owen returned to Australia and became actively involved in the Sydney art culture, both as an artist, representing Australia at the 38th Venice Biennale in 1978;[12] and as a Founding Member of Artspace and Member of The Biennale of Sydney.[5] Upon his return to Australia, Owen's art practice shifted focus to Site-specific and Installation art concerned with concept and expanded sense experience, adding layers of metaphysical and symbolic narrative to cultural history (1975-1992).[8]
In 1987 Owen moved to Melbourne as Artist in Residence at the Victorian College of the Arts. From 1989 to 2001 he was Associate Professor and Head of Sculpture at RMIT University, where he implemented a graduate and postgraduate exchange programme with Utrecht School of the Arts and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam. In 1992 he was a research fellow in Virtual Environments for free Form Design in the Invited Artists program of Advanced Computer Graphics Centre, CITRI, RMIT University.
In the early 1990s he returned to the topographical abstraction of colour, space and light through painting and sculpture (1992-).[13][14] Owen's experience as a curator of contemporary art includes Sound Works for the 1982 Biennale of Sydney and the exhibition Inland for the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne in 1990.[15][16] Since the early 2000s, Owen has also undertaken Public Art commissions that have extended his installation practice in a broader social context.[17][13] Owen received the Australian Council Visual Arts/Crafts Emeritus Award in 2003.[1]
Robert Owen is currently[when?] represented by Arc One Gallery[18] and is a member of Artery Co-operative Ltd.[19]
