Connecticut-based artist Becca Lowry creates elaborate mixed-media works carved from assemblages of laminated plywood and heavily ornamented in mixed media including fabric, thread weavings, oil, and spray paint. Situated somewhere between sculpture and painting, the works stand off the wall in the way a shield or oversized talisman might, with the presence of protective objects. Becca’s pieces can be found in numerous prestigious private collections as well as in the collection of Gateway Community College in New Haven, CT. Her work has been exhibited throughout New England, including at Art Miami NYC with David Findlay Gallery, at Select Fair with Tiger Strikes Asteroid NY, and at Galerie Zurcher in NYC in 2015, at Volta NYC with Fred Giampietro Gallery in 2016, at Klowden Mann in Los Angeles in 2018, and at Greene Naftali in NYC in 2021. In a 2017 review in Artform, Oana Marian writes “Evoking a strip of flesh here, a rib, a phalanx there, [the works] point to their own haptic necessities – asking to be touched, picked up, weighed – but the works also possess the power to stir latent imperatives in the viewer”. Her work was also featured in New American Paintings in 2017. Becca lives in Connecticut, with her wife and their young son.
