Michael Allen Lowe is an internationally collected fine art painter born in Minneapolis. He graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2002 with a BFA in painting, has an MLitt master’s degree in art history from the University of St Andrews, and an executive master’s certification in museology from the Ecolé du Louvre, Paris. Lowe has exhibited his paintings in galleries across the United States and is now represented exclusively by the Findlay Galleries (New York City and Palm Beach). His work has been featured in ART news, Art in America, Art & ANTIQUES, and TRADITIONAL HOME monthly magazines.

Lowe's twenty-one-year professional body of work juxtaposes layers of various art historical painting techniques with those from his imagination. The resultant paintings appear as overlapping pictorial language, reminiscent of masterful graffiti which speaks to the past, present, and future. Lowe has derived inspiration from the Late Classical tomb paintings of Northern Greece to the calligraphic characters of Cy Twombly, and perhaps chiefly from the Proto-Romantic British artist Henry Fuseli and his contemporaries. Lowe is presently applying his scholarship as an art historian toward a body of exciting new works. As  ever, it remains his intention to have an aesthetical dialog with the spectator using complex and provocative imagery to renew and reaffirm classical sensibilities, and bring new insight to this ever evolving artform.
