" Things are entirely what they appear to be and behind them... there is nothing " - Sartre

Jamie Owen, born 1966, England. World cup victory soon followed.Grew up eating Twiglets and watching the Magic Roundabout.

As a teenager I went to London to seek my proverbial gold. After many years swimming in the wrong direction I began to find cracks in the illusion of what I perceived work to be. I applied for art college and was later awarded a full three year scholarship at City & Guilds of London Art college. Finally, after years of different jobs, I was SELF employed

During my time at college I was involved in the Portobello Arts Festival, invited to create works in Richmond park and undertook some performance art for the Glasgow Mayfest, KYO in conjunction with NVA Sabotage, which involved being naked on stage and performing in front of a live audience.

After leaving college I was offered shows at the Thackery Gallery, I entered the Art show held at Alexandra Palace and won both first prize sculpture and overall winner. I also became involved with the Arts Dyslexia Trust and exhibited around the country.

More recently my work has taken me to the House of Lords where I sipped champagne with Anthony Gormley among others for the opening of a limited edition book containing works by various artists, to Christies, where again I won first prize and at an ADT charity event.

More recently I was accused by the Spanish Government of bone theft ! Whilst exhibiting in Alicante I had my sculpture removed from the gallery by the police. It was then taken to the Museum of Alicante where it was analised by forensic scientists. The judge later threw the case out as ridiculous.

So, there's a brief history, I'm sure there's more dates and so forth but it's very dull reading a full cv, so I've abbreviated. If you would like to contact me for a commission of any dimension, or just to comment, please write to jamie@lovefishcafe.com
