Owanto

I had already overcome the limitation of painting on a flat canvas. I could now express a 'deeper language', no matter on what surface, how or with what.

"This sculpture was painted immediately after I had finished painting the cow, and shows a possible new direction for my work."

Title		Giver of Light

Media		Metal, Chicken Wire and Paint

Date		2005

Owanto started to sculpt in London in 1990 when she was expecting her first child.
Her friendship with Elizabeth Wright, R.C.A., a talented sculptress, sometime assistant to Sir Anthony Caro, was most enlightening. Elizabeth gave her a profound understanding of form and balance. Owanto spontaneously creates figures in terracotta which in turn become magnificent bronzes, both powerful and tender, telling us of her tangible world where the joy of parenthood is evident.
