Biography
Chris Lowe is a British production designer and supervising art director. His career in feature filmmaking stretches from the mid‑1990s to the present, with early credits dating back to art direction roles in films such as The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain (1995) and To Kill a King (2003), followed by supervising art direction for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) and The Constant Gardener (2005).
During the 2000s, Lowe served as supervising art director on high-profile studio films including Basic Instinct 2 (2006), The Golden Compass (2007), Quantum of Solace (2008), The Young Victoria (2009), and Harry Brown (2009). He also worked as a production designer on Dread (2009) and as art director on In Bruges (2008).
Into the 2010s, Lowe became the supervising art director on multiple James Bond films and other blockbusters: Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Skyfall and Dark Shadows (both 2012), Into the Woods (2014), Spectre (2015), Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), Dumbo (2019), and No Time to Die (2021). From 2022 onward, he has taken on complete production designer duties on The Gray Man (2022), Meg 2: The Trench (2023), Bob Marley: One Love (2024), and Venom: The Last Dance (2024).
Lowe earned significant industry recognition for his contributions. In 2001, he won a British Academy Television Craft Award for Best Production Design for the TV miniseries Longitude, shared with Eileen Diss. He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2005 for Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or Movie for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, alongside Norman Garwood, Lucy Richardson, John Ralph, and Maggie Gray.
Within the Art Directors Guild, Lowe has received multiple honours. He won the Guild’s Excellence in Production Design Award for a contemporary feature film for his work on No Time to Die in 2022.
