Pilar Corrias is pleased to present Allus Do It Fer Thissen, a solo exhibition by James Owens. This exhibition forms part of Gallery 2, an occasional programme of exhibitions by non-represented artists at Pilar Corrias Conduit Street.
Drawing its title from the Yorkshire saying meaning ‘always do it for yourself’, Allus Do It Fer Thissen echoes a quiet call to resilience, an undercurrent that moves through each of the works in the exhibition. Entangled in foliage or submerged in rising undergrowth, the figures in these paintings traverse dense landscapes as beings negotiating survival, connection and uncertainty. In Owens’s world, the natural and the human are not opposed, but entangled, each shaping the other in moments of subtle tension, care and survival.
