VISUAL FLUENCY | Owen Brock

Over twenty-five years in the field of visual design, set against a backdrop of extensive worldwide travel, has combined to give Owen A. Brock a keen intuition about people and their cultures—which leads to some fairly unpredictable creative ideas.

Owen is the founder of Visual Fluency, a Cincinnati Design firm serving a wide array of creative, corporate and non-profit clients with an intelligent blend of Design, Photography and PhotoFusion. He is a man who wears many hats: one moment the highly experienced designer creating a corporate logo for a large for profit company, then the next moment he is half way around the world in a South African squatter settlement, taking photographs for a humanitarian organization. Sometimes he is displaying photographs painted with subtleties of light and texture, attempting to capture something transcendent in nature.

we were lucky to have matt morris host our first ever film screening in january 2009.

here’s a little more about this knowledgable and gifted facilitator…

Matt Morris is a transplant from southern Louisiana and a graduate of the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He makes art and writes. Art meaning installations of fragile objects, video, sound, painting, and a lot of unquantifiables. Writing meaning poetry, art criticism, journalism, recipes, and other notes. He has presented exhibitions, lectures, and poetry performances in local art venues, such as semantics gallery, the Carnegie Visual + Performing Arts Center, Artworks, Nicholas Gallery, the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and Murmur Gallery. He creates works that address, deconstruct, and make peace with forces of abstract thought. They express an interest in the places where concrete ideas fall back into ambiguity and where poetics, aesthetics and nostalgia influence discourse.
