Owen Brown has degrees from Yale and the University of Chicago. In the 1980’s he studied painting at California College of Arts in Oakland, California, where his teachers included Philip Morsberger and Jack Mendenhall. For many years resident in San Francisco, he moved to Minneapolis in 2016. He has exhibited in juried shows and solo exhibits throughout the United States. His paintings have been acquired by institutions as varied as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Nature Conservancy, and Amalgamated Bank, and can be found in collections in this country, in Europe, and in Asia. He was the recipient of residencies at Air Le Parc in July 2017, and at the Land Institute in October 2018, where he created his first sculptural installation: “Units of Measure”. He was an official invitee at Art Prize Nine. In 2020, he will be collaborating with noted choreographer Anat Shinar, on her latest work: “No Hard Feelings.”
