- Lot Description
Benjamin Lowder
American (Illinois), b. 1974
Formation, 2017
Acrylic on wood, signed, titled, and dated to verso.
Large format and three-dimensional abstraction of painted and applied triangles on a slatwood canvas.
Benjamin Lowder’s artwork reconstitutes aged wood and vintage signs, embracing sacred geometry to build new crystalline patterns and structures. Inspired by architecture and semiotics, Lowder showcases the history of his aged materials to construct contemporary spiritual objects. Benjamin Lowder also serves on the board and as Creative Director of the Buckminster Fuller Dome Home.
