Alex Lowery continues to mine and develop landscape subjects close at hand where he lives in west Dorset, with the singular harbour of West Bay providing a kind of stylistic touchstone, against which newer motifs can be tried and tested. Among these more recent subjects are the very different challenges presented by semi-industrial Portland, and a patch of gorse strewn heathland.
Using his eye for the inner qualities latent in ordinary experience, his method involves the paring away of extraneous detail, with the aim of leaving a luminous simplicity; the subject is refashioned, fused into painted images charged with an understated poetry.
