Haverfordwest Civic Society held a commemorative retrospective for Ron Lowe in 1987 and there was an important exhibition at Newport Museum and Art Gallery in 1988.His friend and fellow artist Maurice Sheppard called Lowe “a painter of great physical vigour; he revelled in paint, in its sensuous qualities and in the glow of its colour. His pictures are full of dazzling visual improvisations which are a proof of the intuitive, receptive and spontaneous in his imagination.” Has work in many public collections, including WAC, CASW and University College, Swansea.
