A refined celebration of movement and tradition, Boys Day Carp over Waves portrays koi swimming gracefully through the gentle rhythm of Pacific waves.
Their elegant motion evokes a quiet sense of harmony, and the work stands out for its pure, serene beauty.
Through layered acrylic and oil crayon, Russell Lowrey creates a softly luminous surface imbued with poetic stillness.
Referencing Tango no Sekku (Boys’ Day), the piece blends traditional Japanese symbolism with a distinctly Hawaiian atmosphere.
Flowing waves and gliding carp reflect Lowrey’s signature approach—merging landscape and memory with radiant color and subtle texture.
Born in Honolulu in 1949, Lowrey studied at the University of Colorado and earned his BFA from the University of Denver in 1973.
His paintings of Hawaiian scenery are widely admired for their quiet lyricism and personal depth, often expressed through acrylic and oil pastel.
A standout piece in both scale and meaning, Boys Day Carp over Waves offers a timeless meditation on growth, grace, and the calm strength of nature.
