Owen Gildersleeve is a multi-award winning artist specialising in handcrafted illustration, set design and art direction.
His unique style honed over the past 10 years brings graphic designs to life, through carefully hand-cut layers and a playful use of light and shadow. His practice ranges from intricate paper illustrations and animations, to large-scale sets, window displays and installations and over the years he has teamed up with an array of international clients including Apple, LUSH Cosmetics, Penguin Books and NASA to name but a few.
As well as commercial projects Owen enjoys exploring ideas and themes of his own, creating new bodies of work for shows and exhibitions and collaborating with other artists.
His first book Paper Cut was published in 2014, and celebrates the skilled creative practices of 25 leading paper craft artists from around the world through a series of in-depth interviews carried out by Owen over the course of a year.
In July 2018 his latest solo exhibition Observations from the Unknown launched at the ARGONAUT Gallery in San Francisco, featuring an original body of work celebrating the NASA’s Kepler spacecraft and its nine year mission. The exhibition ran from 17th July - 31st August, 2018.
