LAURA LOWE (b. 1991 in Helsinki, FI) is an emerging oil painter working with the iridescent colour spectra found in oil slicks and coal seams. Rather than using pigment, Lowe’s Structural Colour Paintings produce colour by building up layers of translucent paint, which bend and refract light like a prism. Her practice is informed by laboratory experimentation and an alchemical interest in the interplay of light and matter.


Lowe trained at Factum Arte & Factum Foundation, Madrid before completing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki, during which she won the Hotel GLO Art competition and her MFA degree show was awarded the Anita Snellman award. Lowe’s work has been exhibited at Galleria Paperihuone, Hämeenlinna ‘22; Galleria Rajatila, Tampere ‘23; B-galleria, Turku ‘24, and Huuto galleria, Helsinki ‘25. Lowe is currently working with a two-year working grant from the Finnish Cultural Foundation on her upcoming solo show “Fiat Lux”, Forum Box ‘26.

 

Lowe lives and works in HEL.
