Clytie Owen’s exhibition at Bruthen Village Maker is now open Thursday to Sunday, 10am-4pm.
Clytie is an artist living in Metung who enjoys sailing, the sea and seeing wildlife in wild places.
She is an architect with an approach to art that reflects a technical background, showing an attention to detail, an interest in structure and the use of perspective.
Her lifelong love of drawing has developed into the creation of expressive paintings using watercolours, inks, acrylics and oils.
Clytie likes to study how a thing is put together in order to represent it well. She loves the surprise of finding geometry in the strangest places, like in the markings of insects, in shadowfall and the symmetry of birds and crabs.
One of the developing themes of her work is the contrast of the beauty of the natural environment against the inclusion of built structures, the rust of heavy industry and signs of human habitation, as a snapshot of the times in which we live.
