Ray Lowry

An exhibition at the See in 2008 proved very successful and Ray began to plan new schemes including paintings inspired by another namesake Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano.

Ray eventually moved to Rossendale in Lancashire, and although he no longer worked for periodicals he never stopped painting and drawing, and near the end of his life he was taken up by the See Gallery, Crawshawbooth in Rossendale.

As part of the exhibition 30 creatives, including Tracey Emin, Nick Hornby, Billy Childish, Harry Hill, Paul Simonon and Humphrey Ocean, have produced reinterpretations of The Clash’s iconic London Calling album cover in aid of the Foundation.
