Los Angeles-based artist Laura Owens’ work blends abstract and representational imagery. Her work draws inspiration from English embroidery, Chinese and Japanese landscape painting, European and American modernism, and her own photography, often creating collages and fine line drawings. She acknowledges film, computer, and television imagery among her influences. Her paintings are often grandly scaled, address color and vary in the application of paint to the canvas.
