A master painter, Lowell Boyers is a graduate of the prestigious Yale University
MFA program and the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA). His work has
been included in both private and institutional exhibitions in Cologne, Germany,
Abu Dhabi, New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and St Louis. Boyers lives
and works in New York City.
Lowell’s paintings spark the phenomena of the creative imagination. His
paintings have a spiritual nature that reflects the world in which we live our
daily lives, unleashed by flesh and bone. His work becomes a passageway
that draws us in and plays with the fabric of everyday reality. Through the
sweeping palette of acrylic resins, and spectral colored inks, Lowell’s paintings
shift our view of the narrative activity and dimensions possible in figure
painting. In this series of works, the secret world of the figures blend with the
relative physical world to create an experience of two occurrences at the
same time. This modern fusing of time, space, and perception is a rarity and
beautifully realized in Boyer’s contemporary paintings.
To quote Lowell, “The creative impulse can cut through habitual phenomena,
how we see things, feel things, our perception of self, our notion of body, birth
and death, of appearance.” His creativity has successfully cut through the
mundane converging boundaries into springboards for liberation. Lowell
states, “I see the creative imagination as a birthright belonging to every being,
and my work is fundamentally a textural portrayal of the unfolding
blossoming of various stages of awakening to that active nature.”
Primavera Materia, Boyers’ 2012 exhibition, marked his third solo exhibition at
Deborah Colton Gallery. The artist’s work was first seen at the Deborah Colton
Gallery in the 2004 group exhibition Touch and Temperature: Art in the Age
of Cybernetic Totalism, curated by Michael Rees. Boyers’ artwork has also
been featured by Deborah Colton Gallery with his 2006 solo exhibition
Awakening, at the 2007 Abu Dhabi Art Fair, at many Dallas Art Fairs, at his
2009 solo exhibition Emerge and in his 2010 solo exhibition Whispers of
Becoming.
