Wellspring IV
Watercolor, oil and wax on panel, 62 x 24 in, $14,000.00
An intellectual seeker, Lowe’s artistic practice is one of careful observation that examines the unknowable and mysterious, as well as familiar and recognizable moments in life. Whether it is quantum physics or the inherent beauty of nature, Lowe’s thoughtful and meticulous paintings ask us to dig beneath our own surfaces to deeply observe ourselves, each other, and the world, and in so doing, to create connection. The term “wellspring” can refer to a literal spring of water that wells up from the ground, or it can also be used to describe the origin of ideas, creative insight, or the emergence of inspiration. Often an inexhaustible source, this more metaphorical meaning of wellspring deepens Lowe’s thematic wells.
