The LAVA (Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art) House held the art show "Art for Evolution" on Saturday, April 24 and Sunday, April 25 at their large gallery on Shelby Parkway. The art show was meant to display what the artists considered evolution, and how they show it artistically.

I had the Necrosculpture "Hell Hound/ Evolution" on display at this event. Another artist of merit that I care to mention is Abby Brimstone. She had an amazing photographic installation at the show.

I didn't expect to sell the Hell Hound sculpture at this show, and I didn't. I mainly wanted to get some exposure brought to my artwork. I saw this show as an opportunity for my art to be exposed to the community.

The art show was featured in the local newspaper "The Courier Journal" in their Friday, April 23 "Extra" edition. The article consisted of a synopsis of what the concept of the show was and listed the names of artist featured in the show.

Owen's Artist Statement for the Evolution piece Hell Hound:

Within all people there is a side that they show to the world, and a side that they don't. This side is more animal in nature, carnal, and bestial. What I hope to accomplish by displaying this sculpture is to expose the viewer another side of themselves and to make them realize that they have that other side, and embrace it. Through this realization, the viewer can grow and evolve.
