Artist 35: Peter Lowe



Peter Lowe was born in 1938 in London.  He is a British Constructivist sculptor.  From 1954 to 1960 he studied at Goldsmiths’ College.  Most of his work is characterized by a rational, abstract and very geometric style.  In 1960 he had his first exhibition of his geometric reliefs, he also showed his experimentations with balanced transformable works.  Although known throughout the world, most of his work has been exhibited and in national collections in Europe.  In 1972 he was the cofounder of the Systems group and in 1974 he became a member of Arbeitskreis.  He believes that what the viewer gets out of a piece of his art is up to them.  His work is very simple and clean, his clean lines and well-mastered craftsmanship makes his art very easy to look at.  Although there is not much visually, his works are very visually attractive.
