PAST EXHIBITION

Michael Allen Lowe: Lazaria

June 4, 2008—July 31, 2008

New York, NY– Wally Findlay Galleries International, Inc., is pleased to present the premier exhibition of Michael Allen Lowe, Lazaria

Bold, powerful and seductive; Lazaria is the premier one-man exhibition for Michael Allen Lowe at Wally Findlay Galleries. With influences from William Blake, George Romney, Francisco Goya, and Henry Fuseli, Michael draws on references from the 18th century artists as well as his own wild imagination. The fact that neither the human figure nor the work of the 'Old Masters' has ceased to be relevant is clear in the dramatic and enigmatic work of Michael Allen Lowe.  Lowe's use of his sources is not a borrowing, but a complete reinterpretation, and the results are arresting paintings that speak of past, present, and future. During Lowe’s creative process, every aspect of his image-surface is carefully considered.  Each mark or scrape, drawn through the surface, is as equally important to his finished work as is the nature of paint to the pictorial image.  He often includes and edits pieces of master paintings and sculpture to provide context for his imagery and to supplement or reinforce a work’s content.
