Martin Owen
Under Everything
A1 Canvas, Photography
Owen’s artwork takes a look at portraiture and how people disguise
themselves and act differently, especially when they are in public. He
combines the practice of painting with a photographic outcome to
document the action.
Owen wants to share with the audience the multiple personalities
that one often hides when in face-to-face situations. He exposes this
by physically painting onto people’s faces using only black and white
media. The monochromatic hues depicts light and dark, with the
dark side emulating ones more sinister and mysterious side. He
questions what is ‘acting normally’ in the public sphere? What is
accepted or not? Each portrait holds a different emotion of a singular
person, depicting the multiple personalities we can all camouflage.
