Within Nick Lowe's paintings and drawings, a mosaic of bright colors and shapes combine to create bizarre worlds in which a diverse cast of characters reside. His collages feature fragmented shapes that alternate between figuration and abstraction. Obsessively detailed, his work depicts fractured narratives that unfold in visually dazzling displays.

This frenetic and youthful energy is further relayed in his drawings, which feature a myriad of characters culled from various facets of the media and everyday life, including the cover of the soundtrack of the Muppet Show; the book Borders, Frames, and Decorative Motifs from the 1862 Derriey Topographic Catalogue; early 90s hip-hop album covers; an anatomical text book, and the Bob Hope airport.

Inspired by influences as varied as Hieronymus Bosch and Where's Waldo children's books, Lowe incorporates their attention to detail into his own unique narratives.
