Jean Lowe Detail (Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy) Casein on Cartridge Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) American artist Jean Lowe's (b. 1960) work revolves around the intersection of art history, popular culture, environmentalism, commerce, and politics. Lowe employs wit and satire to create work that is both entertaining and seductive as well as intellectually provocative. Lowe is an American pop/conceptual multimedia artist whose work carefully and humorously unpacks the ironies and challenges of our 21st-century culture. Lowe lives and works in Southern California. Education: BA, University of California Berkeley, MFA, University of California, San Diego. Exhibitions: Lowe exhibits nationally and has been reviewed in various publications including Artforum, Art in America, The Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times. Quint Contemporary Fine Art, San Diego, CA, McKenzie Fine Art, New York, NY, Rosamund Felsen, Los Angeles, CA. About the postcard artworks: Each of these portraits is drawn from a detail of one of Artemisia Gentileschi's paintings from the 1600's. Though not dissimilar in mien and appearance, they reflect radically different characters and situations--a survivor, an ecstatic, and two portraits of murderous avengers.
