About the Artist:
Yannick Lowery is a native of New York City and currently resides in Philadelphia, PA. Claiming both cities as cultural and creative influences, he cites the rich diversity of their visual art histories as fuel for his own practice. Yannick attended The Atlanta College of Art (now SCAD) and Columbia College in Chicago, where he studied sculpture and graphic design, respectively.
His work explores the creations of illustrated proverbs to guide the viewers through cultural introspection and imaginative perpetuation. Lowery parallels archival imagery and his own photography to employ world-creation and compile instigative and investigative way-making devices through collage, animation, and sculptural works. The creative accessibility within this medium has enabled Lowery to experiment with his artistic reach: from illustrations for publications such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Time Magazine as well public murals and installations across the nation.
