A4, 220 pages, black and white printing, perfect bound, softcover, 2022

A publication to accompany, or follow, the exhibiton of the same name at La Salle de bains, Lyon, France.

From the description:

Archiving ideas, producing an average of three paintings a day, Owen Piper is inspired by everything from international politics to footballers’ shoes, animal habits to luxury cars. Produced with a direct and slightly irreverent approach, the compulsive collection of eclectic references results in a flow of images, abstract and colourful compositions as well as texts and poems. The exhibition at La Salle de bains will be an opportunity to display many, if not all, of the editions (posters, artist’s books and ephemera) that Owen Piper has made in recent years, as well as new paintings that he will make with materials found in the immediate environment of La Salle de bains.

The publication charts the highs and the lows through each email that was exchanged between the gallery and Owen. See the grease!
