Lot Essay

Eliza Owen graduated from the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University, in 2022. Eliza’s work focuses on a movement between landscape and the architectural structures we build within that space. Memories of landscape inform the materiality of the work, which plays with lightness, air, and fragility in relation to stronger structural forms and colours. Eliza builds installations that recreate the world around her in the abstract. She reiterates the installations in map-like objects, prints, and in paintings. Her prints act as compressed two-dimensional readings of her more sculptural works; they are memories of spaces that no longer exist. Upon graduating in 2022, her prints were purchased by the Ashmolean Museum to be part of their contemporary collection of works on paper, and by the Paul Ruddock Foundation on behalf of Mansfield College, Oxford.
