Alongside making large aluminum sculptures I have been making small brass sculptures using laser cut brass shapes. I work on these using rollers, benders and soldering torch with scaled down tools. These sculptures are not made as models for larger works but do help to develop and inform the larger pieces. These small sculptures are strongly related to the silk screen prints I have been making during the last few years.
Jeff Lowe came to prominence at the age of 21, whilst still a student at Saint Martin's, through his first solo exhibition at the prestigious Leicester Galleries in London's Cork Street in 1974, before going on to represent Britain at the Paris Biennale. He was awarded the Sainsbury Award in 1973, and the Pollock-Krasner in 1993. Having lived in London and Portugal since the 1970's, Lowe moved to The Limeworks in 2017. This converted concrete building and workshop in Faversham, Kent inspired Lowe to change his sculpture dramatically. Working with curvilinear sheets of aluminium, which incorporated openings, overlapping layers, and dramatic use of colour.
