We’re excited to present Splash!, a new solo exhibition by Rod Pattenden at Owens Collective.

Splash! is a striking series of oil paintings that explores the delicious refreshment — and dangerous depths — of being in water. Figures are suspended in fluid space, reaching for air or plunging into the unknown. Water becomes both a life-giving force and a site of risk, framing human experience through moments of buoyancy, grace, pressure and containment.

Richly coloured and deeply evocative, this exhibition presents recent works that invite viewers to reflect on vulnerability, renewal and the shifting states of being human.
