Calloway Fine Art & Consulting is honoring artist Ken Marlow with a memorial exhibit now through October 12. Marlow died in October 2023 after a long illness. He was 63 years old.
Marlow, who had a 40-year career, was an American realist painter who was known for his portraiture and precisionist still life paintings. He was born in Texas into an Air Force family and live in Mississippi, Ohio, and D.C. He received a B.A. in Art History from Yale and studied paintings with artists Danni Dawson and portraitist Nelson Shanks. He drew influence from not only Shanks, but Burton Silverman, Jean-Simeon Chardin, Jan van Huysum, Giorgio Morandi and sculptor Bruno Luchesi.
Marlow’s work is included in the Mississippi Museum of Art and in 1985, he was the recipient of American Artists Magazine’s prestigious Grand Prize Award. One year later, he was given an art award from the Mississippi Institute of Art and Letters. Throughout his lifetime, he had several solo exhibitions in New York City and D.C. at the Hollis Taggart Galleries and Jane Haslem Gallery.
Marlow taught painting at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria and gave private lessons.
This is the first time the Susan Calloway Gallery has had a posthumous exhibit since its opening over 30 years ago. It’s also the first exhibit for Marlow in 20 years.
