Ben Lowe (British b. 1976) creates thought-provoking artwork that
explores human emotions. His work straddles different artistic styles,
using figurative and landscape elements to provide context, and layers
of abstraction to capture atmosphere and feelings of emotion. Lowe’s variety and depth
of source imagery, coupled with his command and subtle use of different
styles, results in complex but accessible artwork that is both rewarding
and evocative.

CRYING THE UNKNOWN Ben Lowe’s latest collection, Crying the Unknown, is named after a poem written by Madge Hales and published in her 1955 book Dark Landscape. Catching sight of a dusty, tattered first edition of this book at a London market, Lowe was initially intrigued by the title, which echoes the brooding, abstract landscapes that abound in his own work.
