Fake marble and landscapes: The remarkable painting of Walters Prize nominee Owen Connors

Artist Owen Connors is on a roll. They are one of four nominees for Aotearoa's most prestigious art prize, The Walters. Last year they won the $25,000 Rydal Art Prize, awarded biannually to a recent body of work considered by a jury to have made an important contribution to Aotearoa painting. They were also awarded one of the country’s most coveted residencies at McCahon House in the Waitakere.
