Clive Rowe

Clive Rowe rebelled against the staid representational world of art photography, not because he wanted to shock, but because of the immense potential in exploring the oft-overlooked world of photographic abstraction. Rowe, whose family has a strong creative tradition, is interested in the technical advances and developments in photographic processes, from the complex, almost alchemical, early days of developing, to the emerging digital revolution. Rowe’s works vary hugely from piece to piece, as each is an individual work of experimental digital manipulation. Most recently, his art making process involves creating shapes in one program and then importing surface color and texture from Photoshop and applying them. This results in complex three-dimensional and two-dimensional shapes that are symphonies of form and color. Abstraction allows the viewer to engage directly with the work on an intuitive and emotional level, without being distracted by the ‘subject’ of a work.

Clive Rowe lives and works in London, England, where he continues to exhibit and experiment with the possibilities of the digital image.
