Owen Gent's work, inspired by Sappho's fragmented poetry, explores themes of memory and loss, channeling the essence of ancient Greek literature through contemporary illustration.
Gent's ongoing series is not just an artistic endeavor; it serves as a meditation on the impermanence of words and the interpretations that survive through time.
With only remnants of Sappho's poetry available, Gent's illustrations provide a visual narrative that invites viewers to engage imaginatively with the poet's elusive voice.
Through commissioned projects and personal explorations, Gent bridges the historical and the modern, illustrating how ancient expressions can resonate deeply in present-day contexts.
