Johnny Izatt-Lowry looks at the world from a place of remove. With each of his paintings there is a dream-like quality that implies we may have seen it before.

Johnny Izatt-Lowry (b. 1995, Durham) lives and works in London. He holds a BFA in Fine Art at Ruskin School of Art and MFA Fine Art from Slade School of Art.
