Jack Lowndes
Jack Lowndes is a stylised designer and photographer based in London, whose work often employs carefully considered photography, in collaboration with bold design elements, that tell clear narratives often based on Dystopian themes, contextualised by parodying technological advancements and cultural ideologies. Using a range of materials and process, often innovating visual storytelling formats, experimenting with moving image, augmented reality and physical installation techniques to engage the audience in new and effective ways, each outcome charged with modern context and heavy research into the subject matters, which shines through in the finished product. Collaboratively, Jack oftentimes takes leading roles within group projects, focusing on celebrating each member's individual style in the outcome, while balancing the importance of visual harmony between the styles, bringing professional-looking visual communication, with his own work standing strong within the teams. Jack's clear photojournalistic style, aiming to capture and parody the modernisms we as a society overlook and take for granted, provides powerful imagery for audience consideration, taking inspiration from artists such as Basquiat, for his gritty yet vibrant and energic work that is synonymous with big city street culture, and highly stylised photography work such as Andreau Dautelle's, whose recognisable style captures a specific abstract feeling of late-night city intrigue.
