Michael Rowe (Craft Series) (Craft Series) - Hardcover
A leading maker and influential teacher for nearly 30 years, Michael Rowe (b.1948) is now regarded as one of the most significant figures in the development of contemporary applied art in Britain.
His work is notable for its innovative approach to concept and form. The creative tension between geometry and poetry, between systematic visual enquiry and the joy in the working of metal are brought together in objects of a pure and compelling beauty. His investigations into the colouring and patination of metals have led him to create designs in which colour and texture are as defining as their form.
Rowe's challenging work has attracted an international audience. This publication offers the most complete survey of his work to date, and will be of interest not only to academics, collectors and practitioners in the fields of silversmithing and metalwork, but to all those concerned with the development of the visual arts in recent times.
