Among Owens’ most notable works is her 2015 series of paintings based on newspaper stereotype plates (circa 1940); the plates were discovered by Owens under the sliding of her home, and as with a lot of her works, the series combined traditional oil paint with screen printed images that had been digitally manipulated using software.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism. It particularly describes sculptures and paintings clearly or specifically derived from sources of real objects hence they are representational as the name suggests "figurative art". This term is often used as a contrast for abstract art. However, since the coming of abstract art, this term has been used to mean any form of modern art with strong references to the actual/real world situation.
