◐ Artist World Record ◑

오하이오 유클리드 출생인 로라 오웬스(1970년~ )는 로드 아일랜드 스쿨 오브 디자인과 캘리포니아 인스티튜트 오브 아츠에서 공부했다. 

​1990년대 후반 명성을 얻기 시작한 화가, 로라 오웬스는 여러 미술사적 레퍼런스를 활용하며, 다양한 혼합 매체를 이용해 동물과 자연을 묘사하는 것으로 유명하다. 이런 작업 방식은 회화의 본질에 대해 완전히 다른 방식의 질문이 필요하다는 확신으로 시작되었는데, 그 이후로도 끊임없이 새롭고 비판적인 의견들을 작업을 통해 제시해오고 있다. 

​LA를 중심으로 작품 활동을 펼치며 지난 1995년 첫 개인전을 가진 오웬스는 미국은 물론 국제 미술계에서 주목받고 있는 젊은 미술가로 파리 퐁피두센터와 뉴욕 구겐하임 미술관이 그의 작품을 소장하고 있다.

상징성이 강한 독특한 풍경화에서부터 추상화까지 작가의 다양한 표현 스타일은 강한 붓터치의 역동성과 함께 어린이들의 낙서 그림같은 천진한 순수성을 드러내준다.
