​Harriet Owles is a British painter working in “Geometric Figuration,” making realist figures in oil on stained linen and organising them within geometric structures. Drawing from friends, family, and self portraits, her paintings explore selfhood through attention, memory, and relationship. Owles thinks through association, and geometry becomes the way she organises that intake into something coherent and tangible. Surface and paint handling are integral to how the work communicates, using stained grounds, texture, sheen, and absorption to build presence and structure.
