Rudy Loewe (b. London, 1987) is an award winning multidisciplinary artist whose practice focuses on what cultural theorist Stuart Hall describes as 'the present conjuncture'. Through painting, drawing, sculpture and text, Loewe encourages dialogue about socio-political issues and radical histories, highlighting how we got to where we are and considering ways to take us away from our current trajectory.

In their practice, Loewe creates spaces for people to gather, resisting the erosion of needed community structures. These are spaces like reading groups, workshops, gossip circles, and spaces to dream of the present we actually want to live in.

A significant part of their work over the last five years has been responding to the state violence that shapes our remembering of history and the intentional silences in institutional archives, which they have done through their practice-based PhD research in Fine Art Painting. This body of work unravels British government operations dismantling Black resistance movements during the 1960s and '70s. Calling upon their background in comics and illustration, Loewe forms narratives in painting, making space for different kinds of knowledges, inviting in those voices suppressed by the dominant retelling of history.

In 2023, during a residency in the Amazon Forest, Brazil, Loewe deepened their Anansi work by learning about spider technologies. These practices are transmuted into their paintings, creating a bridge to speak to trans communities. Loewe is committed to developing “community-specific resources” that are encoded but “in plain sight”. This makes their art both a tool of resistance and a means of community-rooted power.

In 2025, Loewe became the ninth exhibiting artist for the Art on the Underground Brixton Mural Programme. The Congregation honours the historic role that Brixton has played as a gathering space, particularly for London’s Black communities, adding another layer to Loewe’s ongoing exploration of culture, identity, resistance and collective memory.

Loewe's solo exhibition, Intimacies of Care - Spaces of Grief and Possibility, opened at Wellcome Collection in 2026. It confronts the racism embedded in the UK mental healthcare system that incarcerates Black people, while simultaneously denying adequate care to those seeking it autonomously. Intimacies of Care is an invitation to collectively reimagine more equitable healthcare systems that do not rely on carceral "care".
