Hilton Owen - painter

“There are, above all, times in which human reality, always mobile, accelerates, and bursts into vertiginous speeds. Our time is such a one, for it is made of descent and fall.”
Jose Ortega


I paint what I see around me. The physical union of individuals with objects that occur in my paintings suggests that although the individuals are in control of the objects – a car, an I-pod, an office desk – we are also paradoxically controlled by the objects.


'People', my latest exhibition, is my take on aspects of our society.


Hilton is a third year student at the University of Tasmania studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He is the recipient of the Penfold Buscombe Scholarship for Graphic Design at UTas and is sponsored by Artery Art Supplies.
