About this artwork
In his abstract pointillism, Rowe builds raw emotions in layers of expansive primary tones, shielding the intensity with a lattice-work veil of exacting dots that does its best to clothe the bared soul. One can feel the intensity of the highs and lows, experiencing the entire spectrum of humanity and our inherent desire to make order and perfection from the chaos. Hidden written messages hide behind the dots, subliminally persuading us that everything…
is going to be okay. Every piece is both a self-portrait and an abstraction about life and love. And although there is a sense of imposed calm, each piece tells its own overwhelming, beautiful, sometimes heart-wrenching story.

« I move between a very precise pointillist technique and a more dynamic, loose application of paint. »
A former professional ballet dancer born in outback Australia, Stephen Rowe was inspired to explore painting by choreographer Lindsay Kemp. Swapping slippers for the studio, he's now enjoyed 10 years as a professional artist. Rowe represents themes such as love, the pursuit of happiness, veils and masks in a polished abstract style.
