ART FEED: CHARLiE OWENS

by | Nov 15, 2010 | ART

Charlie Owens is part of Art Whino’s THE TAKEOVER happening at Art Basel Miami this December. One of the over 20 artists that will be working on live installations and workshops throughout the weekend. We are hoping to go this year and cover this for RVA.

Charlie Owens is an Atlanta based artist influenced by today’s modern pop and street art. His work encompasses a mixed media process that utilizes illustration, graphic design and fine art skills producing a bold iconic style, all his own. He achieves his look by way of screen printing, stenciling, wheat paste, and the use of a wide range of acrylics, inks and other materials. By combining his love of illustration and design, Charlie has made a name for himself with his stylized female forms and over-sized murals that showcase the depth and dimension of his talent. – Art Whino

The exhibition will be located in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District along with other accompanying art fairs. 20+ artists will paint large mural/installations around 8’ high and 20’ wide each. Each artist will also exhibit smaller artwork in their installation areas. There will be live painting events throughout the exhibition and under the umbrella of the THE TAKEOVER, will be THE KICKBACK LOUNGE featuring custom furniture with artists’ artwork as the upholstery, full scale arcade games featuring customized artwork on the cabinets, and a full bar and snack area.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.

Review | Virginia Rep Gets Everything Wrong, and It’s Hilarious

Okay, I wasn’t prepared for the complete gut-busting insanity of The Play That Goes Wrong at Virginia Repertory Theatre’s November Theatre. Before heading to the Iron Blossom Festival this past Sunday, I caught a matinee. I didn’t know much about this play other than...
