Alfred Lowe’s practice, which is concerned with contemporary ways of navigating and manifesting identity and culture, is influenced by both the beautiful landscape of Central Australia, where he grew up, and its often-charged politics. These opposing ideals of beauty and pain fuel the artist’s exploration of what it means to exist simultaneously in two conflicting extremes. By using radically contrasting materials, textures and colours, Lowe explore what it means to exist outside binary ideals.
