Elam graduate receives Festival of Photography awards Annual Fine Arts Commission 2012
April 2012
James K Lowe is the recipient of the Annual Fine Arts Commission 2012. He will create new works for this exhibition, continuing with the themes explored in his "In an Honest World" series exhibited both here and at Paris Photoquai. The commission will form the next stage of this young artist’s work.
James said, “The Commission is a huge support and recognition for my own work, and belief in what I do. My work often requires funding in the thousands for every photograph I take: from film costs, models, lighting and printing. My proposal to the Festival surrounded the idea of encapsulating old and new work from the past 4 years. To create an exhibition that follows a narrative I have been working on since studying at Elam School of Fine Arts. I am very pleased with what is to come from the Commission and ecstatic about being able to create new work to complete the narrative in its entirety.”
