Jack Oliver Owen (b. Essex, England) is a Sydney-based multidisciplinary artist completing Honours at the National Art School. Working across photography, expanded print media, drawing and installation, his practice explores intimacy through slow, haptic looking. ​‘Boys in Bedrooms’ photographs friends in their private bedrooms, spaces seldom seen by others. Each room is read as an expression of self, with the camera a means of admission. The work considers what a room says about the person who keeps it and what a visitor can observe there. In 2026 Oliver Owen presented the solo exhibition ​‘Dissecting Queer’ at Queer Contemporary for Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. He is the overall winner of the 2026 BentArt Annual and a recipient of the Brandon Trakman Prize and the Jenny Robinson Print Studio Prize and Residency. He is a founding member of the artist-run initiative Pinpoint.
