NATE LOWMAN

Lowman’s work delves into the intersections of power, beauty, and violence within art and society. These themes are intricately woven into a highly specific and intimate relationship with materials, often employing labour-intensive studio techniques like pointillist dot painting, intended to mimic silkscreens and intricately shaped hand-stretched canvases. Reflecting on contemporary issues such as mass consumerism, celebrity pop culture, and violence, Lowman appropriates and manipulates pre-existing imagery to generate symbolic references.

Lowman’s work is held in numerous public collections including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Marciano Art Foundation, Los Angeles; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
