\"Saying-Farewell\"<\/p>\n

Ben Owers’ Artist Portfolio<\/h1>\n

Ben Owers\u2019 collages are sculptural in nature. His pieces\u2014made up of juxtaposed portraiture, still lifes and landscape elements\u2014are created from vintage and modern publications in order to construct a hybrid image in the centre of the page like a statue on a plinth.<\/h2>\n

A portfolio of Ben Owers\u2019 work appears in KOLAJ #15<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Green.Mountain\"<\/p>\n

The effect is an interplay of perspectives that push and pull between foreground details and the more recognizable elements of the piece, which give shape to a harmonious and colourful whole on the paper.<\/h2>\n
