Much of Darren Lowe’s work is concerned with the joyful expression of the popular culture he grew up with, including films such as Grease and musical artists such as Michael Jackson and Patti Smith. He also has a fondness for illustrating animals, especially elephants. His work also relates to memory, and the tendency of memories to be all at once intense, at times involuntary, and also fleeting. This sometimes gives his work a distorted and at times deconstructed and dreamlike quality.
