ANDY OWEN-SMITH - FREESTYLE

Updated: Apr 16

Swimmers in a choppy sea, wearing caps, and swimming in various directions. The scene is painted in soft blues and whites, creating a dynamic and lively mood.

SIXTEEN GALLERY |1 - 7 MAY



ANDY OWEN-SMITH PRESENTS A SERIES OF PAINTINGS CONTRASTING HUMAN FRAGILITY AGAINST THE ENDURING POWER AND PERPETUAL ENORMITY OF THE SEA, IN FREESTYLE.



" PAINTING FOR ME IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSLATE AND CAPTURE AN IMAGE TO GIVE IT PRESENCE AND LONGEVITY


SEA SWIMMING IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE AND INTERACT WITH ONE OF NATURE'S GREATEST AND OFTEN DEADLIEST FORCES"
