Robert Stuart Lowden Bio.
Robert was born in Buffalo, New York in 1960.
He was raised in North Buffalo and was often taken in his carriage to The Albright Knox art museum
where he was treated to artists such as John Chamberlin, Jackson Pollock and the optics movement in
painting.
He later attended SUNY at Buffalo and majored in music.
Buffalo became deeply depressed in the late 1970’s and Lowden moved to Southern California where
he moved in with his cousin, Jeffery Burr and began to learn about the horror movie scene while
working on such films as “From a Whisper to a Scream “, to the first “Tales From The Hood “.
At about this time Robert snagged a job at a local service bureau and madly gravitated towards
Photoshop 1. He snuck back in to the business after hours and mastered the app by doing illustrations
for himself. He took these drawings to EZTV where Micheal Massuci put them into a show at their
Cyberspace Gallery.
Massuci also contacted some people at Warner Bros Audio Books and Mr. Lowden was given several
projects including the cover for “ Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep “ by Philip Dick.
EZTV then gave Lowden an internship where he digitally designed the Poster/ One Sheet for Spike
Lee’s “ Girl Six”.
After this he contacted the newly formed studio of Dreamworks SKI and was given a job of tutoring
older master artists in the new art of painting digitally for animation.
It went well and he was then put on contract to digitally paint backgrounds and effects for “The Prince
of Egypt “, “Spirit” and “ Eldorado”. Also at this time he studied drawing daily under Steve Huston at
the studio.
After this he worked for Disney Animation on “ The Tigger Movie” and “Under The Tuscan Sun “
where he digitally painted matte paintings and backgrounds.
Mr. Lowden was an oil painter and a sculpter as well, having studied with Raoul Delasota , Olga Seem
and Lee Whitten at Los Angeles City College.
After some years of experiencing the super fluidity of digital painting, his oil work and sculpture
began to change into a morphic and fluid style that was a direct result of the digital experience.
