Ever intrigued by the possibilities of shadow and scale, Owen Gent renders narratives of psychological struggle and moral dilemmas. The Bristol-based illustrator works between analog and digital mediums to create scenes characterized by grainy textures and bold colors.
Gent (previously) often collaborates with editorial clients, and many of the works shown here were commissioned by publications like The New York Times, Psychologie Heute, and Middlebury Magazine. The illustrations encapsulate various modern anxieties and quandaries visualized through ominous beasts or a winding row of enormous dominoes on the verge of collapse.
Prints are available in Gent’s shop, and you can follow his latest projects on Behance and Instagram.
