Born in Las Vegas and based in New York, Lowman has been active since the early 2000s, when he first gained recognition for his takes on American pop culture. Curated by NY-based curator Matt Black, Lowman’s first solo exhibition in Japan will consist of a series of completely new works as well as a look back on some of the artist’s most iconic pieces. Combining art historical homages, a personal lexicon of cultural ideograms, and politically suggestive imagery such as American golf courses and satellite images of hurricanes, the exhibition showcases the evolution and mutation of recurring motifs within Lowman’s practice. Following the past few years of topical exhibitions, this time Lowman returns his focus to the provocative act of appropriation itself– highlighting how, within an accelerating society, repetition and reframing of the familiar can serve as landmarks for navigating and restructuring meaning.
