Owe Zerge was a Swedish artist born in Kristianstad in 1894.

Between 1914 and 1915, Zerge studied at the Althin Painting School in Stockholm. This was followed by the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, where he studied for Olle Hjortzberg and Oscar Björck from 1915 to 1919. In the same period, he also attended Axel Tallberg's etching school for a short time. This was followed by study trips to Italy and France, where he studied under André Lhote. Zerge made his debut at the Salon de Paris in 1921 and the following year he exhibited at Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm. He specialized in portraits, figure motifs, flowers and landscapes, and in recent years his portraits have attracted attention; they are characterized by their sharpness and details and are almost photographic.

Owe Zerge is represented in several museums in Sweden, including Gävle Museum, Kristianstad Museum and Tomelilla Museum.
