While the subject matter of Owen Wills’ paintings is restless and constantly shifting, they consistently reflect the artist’s core priorities. A quietness runs through much of the work, balancing simple, observed moments with an awareness of the effort and struggle embedded in everyday life. The paintings are smooth and softly rendered, using blending techniques informed by Wills’ time working as a muralist and sign painter in New York City. Drawing from personal photography, physical collage, and archival film stills, the work aims to convey a sense of personal spirituality, finding subtle magic in daily life and elevating its most mundane, humble details.
