/><br /><br /><br />I am excited to be participating in the upcoming ASK members show that will be focusing on <a href="http://askforarts.org/exhibits/details.php?num=388">Abstract Art</a>. Abstraction and non-objective painting have been ideas (or processes) I have struggled with ever since I first picked up a brush.<br />The piece <span style="font-style: italic;">for <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poet.html?id=233">John Ashbery</a></span> is in response to the poet's poem <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://mediamogul.seas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Ashbery/5-17-77/Ashbery-John_9_Blue-Sonata_Oregon-State-University_Corvallis-Oregon_5-17-77.mp3">Blue Sonata</a>.</span> I still remember reading the poem for the first time on a summer day in Woodstock with my daughter. We were looking for poems to study together, and I was grabbed by the line <span style="font-style: italic;">"we live in the sigh of our present".</span> It made me think of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Concerning-Spiritual-Art-Wassily-Kandinsky/dp/0486234118">Kandinsky's </a> ideas on the spiritual in Art<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>and the writings of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mondrian-Humanity-Abstract-Meyer-Schapiro/dp/0807613703/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267416071&sr=1-1">Meyer Schapiro on Mondrian</a>. The poem made me wonder if abstraction is capable of existing outside the present, or for that matter , can abstraction exist outside its making? Either way, abstraction cannot exist in some other place, or as I have written before (not) in some other place.<br /><br />The piece <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SHpGQBwF6KI/AAAAAAAAAPw/N0vq5wkjwwM/s1600-h/Owen+Harvey,+Glider.jpg">Glide</a> </span>was painted before <span style="font-style: italic;">Ashbery.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Glide </span>was painted in response to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Dragon-Essays-Revised-Expanded/dp/0226333183/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267416270&sr=1-1">Dave Hickey's <span style="font-style: italic;">Flatland</span></a> as I tried to work away from the composition I had settled on while working through the <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/Rx1C2unE9wI/AAAAAAAAAFU/lpFItP9jzxk/s1600-h/Harvey_Owen_1.jpg"><span style="font-style: italic;">Irish Airman Series</span></a>.

As a Christmas Gift post the transition, my spouse, Hillary, gave me a membership to the <a href="http://askforarts.org/exhibits/details.php?num=374#photoholderTop">Art Society of Kingston</a>, which is located just down the block from us on Broadway.<br /><br />This members show is my first participation with the organization. I submitted my piece <span style="font-style: italic;">Toward a History of Glam Rock <span style="font-style: italic;">(Iggy, Bowie, & Lou) </span></span>for consideration in the upcoming Music as Muse show.<br /><br />The piece is an extension on my exploration of <a href="http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/19414">W.B. Yeats' <span style="font-style: italic;">An Irish Airman Forsees His Death</span></a>:<br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">I know that I shall meet my fate<br />Somewhere among the clouds above...<br /></b><b style="font-style: italic;">...A lonely impulse of delight<br />Drove to this tumult in the clouds;<br />I balanced all, brought all to mind,<br />The years to come seemed waste of breath,<br />A waste of breath the years behind<br />In balance with this life, this death.</b><br /><br />My first exploration of the theme was done with white, black, and silver in 3 parts. I think it was the silver that directed me to consider glam rock as an avenue of influence as well. It was a step away from the machine to expression.<br /><br />The Airman and the Performer both need to live in the present, balancing between the corporeal and the ephemeral in their pursuit of release.Owenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04636135110549983422noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197144096613084544.post-6580215461690243512008-09-08T15:21:00.000-07:002008-09-08T15:27:41.317-07:00ARTBARN 4 Images<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmwVl3gZI/AAAAAAAAAVM/Wj8804_ouDE/s1600-h/installation+shot+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmwVl3gZI/AAAAAAAAAVM/Wj8804_ouDE/s320/installation+shot+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243780690502713746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmwmOG4hI/AAAAAAAAAVU/OtlgKg0EFcQ/s1600-h/installation+shot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmwmOG4hI/AAAAAAAAAVU/OtlgKg0EFcQ/s320/installation+shot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243780694966460946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmw_9qsMI/AAAAAAAAAVc/qv_xu3IB644/s1600-h/Harlequin+and.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmw_9qsMI/AAAAAAAAAVc/qv_xu3IB644/s320/Harlequin+and.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243780701876826306" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmxEbdINI/AAAAAAAAAVk/0e7M_CDlgS4/s1600-h/full+shot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SMWmxEbdINI/AAAAAAAAAVk/0e7M_CDlgS4/s320/full+shot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243780703075508434" border="0" /></a><br />Special thanks to Glen, Ellen, & Jay for hosting the weekend.Owenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04636135110549983422noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197144096613084544.post-37870762417034334382008-08-09T06:39:00.000-07:002008-08-09T06:57:28.264-07:00Working Statement for (not) in some other placeMy previous body of work was an exploration of systems. Those paintings looked for the inherent differences within a repeated process. They looked for the narrative in the resulting images. Rather than each canvas being a separate painting, I began to see that many canvases can be one painting. This conceptual experience helped to expand my understanding of painting: as open-ended. Yet, I felt something was missing. After fixating on the quagmire of theory I researched in support of the work, I felt a new direction needed to open up.<br /><br />Where I had previously used repetition of elements to lead the viewer through several canvases arranged across a wall, I now wanted a way to collapse that space back into a single canvas. In meditating on this challenge, I decided to re-introduce an idea of perspective into the work. Simultaneously, I re-introduced ROYGBIV, which proved pivotal in opening the work up to playful impulses.<br /><br />To encourage this spontaneity, I cultivated an obsession with listening to Coltrane's album, "A Love Supreme", while making these works. Coltrane played simple melodies and improvised off of them, thereby creating a new way to experience that melody. He turned the familiar into something unexpected. It inspired me to take more risks with the composition and color.<br /><br />To break my habit of conceptualizing the work while producing it, I read the poetry of John Ashbery instead of Art Theory texts. His poem "Blue Sonata" became a mantra for me in the studio as I embraced not being in some other place but "in the sigh of the present."<br /><br />I believe this new body celebrates the expansion of a personal history of abstraction, bringing it into the contemporary with a lightness. In an attempt to keep geometric abstraction fresh and to re-invent it for myself, I asked: How can you take the lessons of history and make them relevant? Can they become departures for new ideas? Bringing in perspective, via the triangles or broken rectangles, provides the illusion that things are receding and coming forward. Playing with transparency and opacity keeps the work from falling into something flat or stylized. The new work employs a humor that complements the weight of historical abstraction.<br /><br />August, 2008Owenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04636135110549983422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197144096613084544.post-33296587993368959132008-07-26T08:07:00.001-07:002008-07-26T08:31:56.274-07:00(not) in some other place<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/SItBNAIV1UI/AAAAAAAAAQI/kG4CkyLIYy4/s1600-h/Owen+Harvey,+Stella+Maris.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Unlike so many contemporary abstract painters who seem preoccupied with materials, application and installation as ends in themselves, Owen invigorates his relatively spare work through internal pictorial dynamics (or more recently serial, repetitive relationships) and the tensions that develop from his thoughtful, playful approach to the contradictions inherent his work.<br />Owen's smart and challenging compositions are tempered by a sense of simple, rhythmic beauty and grounded in relatively consistent and limited formal vocabulary. Startling shapes and colors are arrayed in ways that suggest both a disjointed passage and fully unified composition. What remains unaccountable about Owen’s work is that he uses this stripped-down (but wonderfully generous) vocabulary to speak in unexpected and subtle ways about the human condition. In front of Owen's work, one feels the tug of old concerns, hints of romantic gestures and fugitive desires for transcendence. Yet the impossible emergences or dreamy deliverances remain baffled, oddly entombed by their own candy-colored surfaces.<br />This rebuttal of transcendence is sharply defined by the spatial ambiguity of his otherwise stark horizon lines. His diagonal nods to receding space are stopped short by his impasto-spackled (or gooey-glazed) surfaces that seem another (almost redundant) ironic denial of expressive potential with their banal, almost mechanical application. Even the lines and planes within his pictures often approach each other yet never quite touch. A disjointed platonic reality is suggested in which ideal forms remain disconnected from each other - and the viewer. The forms are bound in Zeno's infinite immobility, just as we are unable to truly close the distance and fully "know" one of Owen’s paintings - as his titles often remind us, with their humorous references, following coded paths counter-intuitively related to the images we initially confront.<br />These stark formal images mock our desire for anything other than their singular presence. They may not be what we thought we needed, something impossible other, but they radiate. It is as if they must continually exorcize concept and illusion in order to replace transcendence with an earthly transubstantiation. Approached directly, the scalloped surfaces cease to be anti-expressive gestures and become something else - a non-representational moment, providing us not with illusion and<br />reference, but a reinvigorated awareness of concrete materiality. They offer a simple sense connectedness with nature, a declaration that each image is nothing but that which is.<br />This tension between materiality and conceptual space is configured differently in Owen’s recent work on wood. The lack of any visual relationship between surface and image allows them to float more comfortably together - in utterly different dimensions. In Owen's works on canvas, the laborious process that fused figure and ground gave his work a sense of weighty necessity and almost classical proportion. The works on wood allow the emergence of less studied rhythms and gestures. The lines and marks seem but one configuration of many possible compositions - suggesting a further departure from any grappling with absolutes - toward an open-ended evolving display. A new complexity seems to be emerging from this serial work with its post-minimal sensibility. One senses certain struggles laid aside as new forms and colors easily blossom; yet these images carry their own strange, uncanny echoes, harbingers of other struggles. Owen’s paintings seem to remain a three-legged easy chair.<br /><br />http://twoandahalfthings.blogspot.comOwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04636135110549983422noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197144096613084544.post-65075961709089615252007-10-22T17:54:00.001-07:002007-12-20T21:34:50.172-08:00Notes on Fugitive GeometryI refer to fragments as fugitive geometry. Rather than holding to the autonomy of a single object, my work explores relationships between parts. This serial approach enables me to discover the difference within repetition as well as revealing the possible within limitation. The choice to work on wood alongside the traditional approaches is to get away from the idea of the precious. The wood-grain acts as a ready-made situation to react against or to complement. I enjoy the implied casualness of these pieces as I struggle to come to terms with their weight as objects. <br />I choose to operate within the field of painting because of its history of openness. Painting has shown itself to withstand challenges by redefining them as expansions. Rather than permitting changes in the field to be fissiparous, painting permits the simultaneous.Owenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04636135110549983422noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197144096613084544.post-73960613468263286122007-10-22T17:41:00.000-07:002007-10-22T17:51:47.829-07:00Accessing Drawing<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VnBOuJyWRX8/Rx1FhOnE92I/AAAAAAAAAGA/6802c5Bi-Tk/s1600-h/Owen+Harvey_small+blue+circles.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;
