Rooted in photography and the exploration of light, his ethereal style taps into the Super Natural processes that surround us. He considers much of his work to be "postcards from the psychic borderland".
Branching out, he has started to use all types of image-making, feeding the results back into his studies. Seeking to fuse paint, digital, sculpture into his photographic quest has created some startling imagery. “I have been working over the years to find new ways to expand just exactly what constitutes as photography. What is a Photograph?”
He likes to study the history, science and psychology of art. “Everything has a meaning, I often try and work a narrative or a series of connected themes into the work. Much of the recent work is paint, collage, mixed-media and VJ'ing, visuals triggered on a keyboard via a digital projector. All these can then be layered or re-photographed.”
This is the first time in many years that Luke has shown this work, and much of it has not been seen before. He also writes for Art & Soul Magazine and runs the Glass Onion Gallery.
