Jonathan Owen features in the current group show at the Djanogly Gallery, Drawn through time.
The show is an exploration of artists that explore the past, present and future through drawing.
Penny McCarthy spent months studying Titian’s rarely displayed woodcut The Submersion of the Pharaoh’s Army in the Red Sea (c.1549) from Sheffield Museums’ collection. Through redrawing and creating new works that explore its themes of submersion, travel, time and the cosmos, she uses drawing as a tool to re-evaluate art history and the passing of time.
McCarthy invited artists George Shaw, James Pyman, Billy Hughes, Jonathan Owen, Emma Kay, Marissa Textor and Fleur Patrick to journey with her. Each uses the slow, attentive process of drawing to gain insight into other artists’ work and the past.
