Something a little bit different, maybe a little bit twisted, but still cool, clean and captivating. Hilton Owen, an amazing artist who has been huge on the Australian scene since his first solo show at 17 years of age, and at 22 has already had many (and we mean MANY) solo shows around the country – and now he’s back for another!

“This collection, entitled ”New Paintings 2012” is Hilton at his best – showcasing a unique style which has been described as a ”wonderful mixture of figurative and abstract art fused together”

In Hilton’s work, the mundane and the ordinary become beautifully crafted modern works of art. There is a synergy in his work between the object and the person, the action and the ideas – interwoven with a nostalgic antique colour palette.”

Hilton Owen produces interesting and Nuevo-nostalgic works, which totally invite you in to take a closer look – to decipher the message and meaning behind … if you’re in Sydney, totally worth checking out!
