Rotunda Gallery EXHIBITION The Same Streets Everyday Lost San Jose DATES: JAN 20 - MAY 12 YEAR: 2024 Previously on view in the Rotunda Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. Lost San Jose is an ongoing series of photos and stories, a collection of fragments that make up the landscape of my life in Silicon Valley. It’s a tribute to the four generations of my family that haunt these streets, a eulogy for an endlessly erased city that always pushes away what was or could have been. About the Collection The Same Streets Everyday explores the ever-shifting landscapes of the places that have become home, the mysteries that hide in the everyday, and the patterns and constants that emerge when you walk the same streets for years. It’s purposely taken wrong turns, worn out shoes, quiet hours, and cloudy days. It’s insomnia, trespassing, and a camera. The photos on the walls, presented in no particular order, were taken with over a dozen different cameras, span over a decade of time, and were all taken while walking the streets of San Jose.

Rotunda Gallery EXHIBITION Happenstance Jeff Owen DATES: SEPT 2 - JAN 7 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Rotunda Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. Happenstance - An Unexpected Journey My artist life began as a child sitting in the back seat of a 1957 Chevrolet with a drawing tablet – only the best from the art store – and my favorite #2 pencil. My mother would throw me and all of her drawing supplies into the car and drive all around town looking for interesting buildings, homes, or people to draw. Always on a busy street, cars whizzing by with all the noise that accompanies them; no matter, we were there to draw whatever was out the side window of the car. I’d say my drawings were never much to look at, but I always received tons of “that’s beautiful” or “I wish I could draw like that” from Mom. Sometimes my scale would be off, sometimes my perspective. No problem, Mom encouraged me. Each adventure would top the last – and each finishing with a quick roll up of the window, a buckle of the seatbelt, and a retreat to home where Mom would pull out her recent work and “touch up” her drawing – then – she began to paint. This was the best time. The fumes of oil and turpentine would fill the house. We, my sister and I, would run over and open a window to get some fresh air into the room – Mom was painting! We would watch her paint, and then, for some unknown reason (except for being a kid) we’d find something else to do – until our curiosity sparked us to again go and see how far she had come with her latest “masterpiece.” This was my introduction to art. My art evolved over the years, sometimes taken with painting, sometimes drawing, until that one special day that I discovered welding. My father-in-law, Chet Christison, lived in Fresno. We would visit him and his wife Thelma at least three or four times per year. His workshop, a huge outbuilding on the property, was filled with woodworking tools. Little did I know that he also loved metal. Inside his workshop, in a corner that you could barely get to without disturbing all the feral cats he loved so much, away from everything else, was an oxy-acetylene torch set, and next to it, a small welder. “What the heck is this?” I asked him. “Oh that, you wouldn’t know” he said. “That’s for welding metal.” I asked him if he wanted it, since I could see it had not been used in some time. “What are you going to do with it? You don’t even know how to use it.” I finally got him to give it to me. The welder went into the back of my truck, along with the oxy set. I was determined to put them to good use. I must be able to find something that needs welding... -------------- My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. My creative process emerges with patterns. I incorporate patterns into all of my sculptures. Taking one piece of steel, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the sculpture encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work on a sculpture to completion. It is finished when the creative flow ends. I have been an artist all my life. I am fascinated with engineering and architecture. The shapes of metal, its patterns, textures and grains all entice me to create. My ability to cut and weld metal allows me to create any art I desire. My aspiration is to create sculpture that is unique, something that no one has done before. I resist conformity and mass production. My art is as individual as I am. My art belongs to our present time or any time. My art does not represent reality inspired by the real world. It makes use of patterns representing independent relationships with no reference – “contemporary-abstraction.” I take delight in rummaging through metal scrap yards, finding those particular pieces of steel that stir me in some way or other. I have feelings for inanimate objects. When I see something tossed aside, I ponder why? I wonder where it has been and where it is going. Each piece I touch has its own individual tale. Was it once part of a bridge, supporting travelers to distant cities? Was it once part of a water tower, supplying nourishment to gardens? Was it used to manufacture others, like itself? When I’ve rescued that piece from limbo, it may take me only moments, or possibly many months, to understand within myself what that metal wants, or needs, to become. Only then will I fulfill “its” dream. Jeff Owen 2023 "Lost Horizons" Previous Next
