Ben Lowe British, b. 1976
Ben Lowe creates thought-provoking artwork that delves into the exploration of human emotions. His diverse body of work straddles various artistic styles, incorporating figurative and landscape elements to provide context while utilizing layers of abstraction to capture atmosphere and feelings of emotion.
A self-confessed magpie when it comes to source material and drawing inspiration from personal experience - the challenge, as he sees it, lies in discovering art in the everyday and the real life, identifying those moments that evoke emotional responses and giving them a tangible presence.
Loss, love and longing feature heavily in Ben's work, along with societal observation, relationships, childhood memories and the human condition. The infusion of this wide palette of emotional inspiration is evident across Ben’s substantial catalogue of works. Whatever the medium, his art is always inescapably tactile and empathetically grounding.
