Carl Rowe

Carl Rowe is an artist living and working in the East of England. His visual practice is based at Messums East in Lowestoft, and he works part-time as Senior Research Fellow at Norwich University of the Arts.

He makes paintings, prints, drawings and objects. The subjects he questions through his process are diverse, and include pollen, eels, scaffolds, calibrations, logos, traps, donuts and domestic objects. Physical things are incorporated into paintings, and painted surfaces evolve into concrete objects.

He has engaged with creative and academic projects widely in the UK and in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Canada, the US, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia and Egypt. Alongside studio production he works on public art initiatives including billboards, print portfolios and commissions. Recent projects have involved Hospital Rooms, HMP Norwich, Clear Channel, Norfolk and Suffolk Secure & Forensic Services and The Restoration Trust. He is a member of OUTPOST gallery Norwich, Bloc Projects Sheffield, East Anglia Art Fund and Norfolk Contemporary Art Society.
