About the artist:

Kent Lowe grew up in East London, spending most of his youth in Dagenham, before moving to Essex.

Being a daydreamer, and somewhat of a loner at school, he found art and literature to be the perfect medium for his endless imagination. After finishing college, Kent went on to study a fine art degree where he moved from canvas to installation which perfectly reared his love for both visual and literary storytelling.
