Synopsis

2004 was the last kings cross festival organised by the Kings Cross Arts Guild.

I was lucky enough to interview the famous bohemian artists still alive at that time since then over half of these interviewees have passed.

This 30 minute documentary is a testament to their work and their place in the history of Kings Cross Bohemian Artists.

It holds space for them and their view on the gentrification of Kings Cross during the laying of the plaques.

Please see the credits for the list of artists interviewed and their late artist friends of this magical time in the under mentioned Kings Cross ArtHistory between 1970-90 and onwards

BRAVE AND BEAUTIFUL Celebrating the life and art of Timothy Owen Exhibition 24-30 April 2023

Brave and Beautiful – Timothy Owen

BRAVE AND BEAUTIFUL

Celebrating the life and art of Timothy Owen

Exhibition 24-30 April 2023

Life is fleeting. It is precious, unpredictable and fragile.

Timothy Owen trod gently on Earth for just 17 years before returning his stardust to the Universe on 29 April 2020. He experienced life’s wonders and elation, its challenges and disappointments. A talented photographer, filmmaker and storyteller, Timothy lived life with passionate, adventurous enthusiasm. He loved and was loved.

Everyone’s experience of the pandemic was unique. For some, it was inconvenient – missed holidays, delayed plans. For others, loss of social connection and personal freedom came at great cost – loved ones kept apart, denied the comfort of touch, of presence, of rituals. Restricted to a funeral of just 10 friends and family, Timothy’s mother promised to curate an exhibition of his photographs to celebrate her son’s life so all could share in the beauty of his art and his legacy of kindness. Through this exhibition, she keeps that promise.

You are invited to share in this unique celebration of life, love and light.
