ABOUT:

Luke Parry (b. 1999) is a London-based artist who graduated with a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Arts in 2021. His practice explores facility and redundancy in both painting and sculptural forms. Through the employment of materials that are often readily available, a sense of universality is shared between the artist and audience.

Interested in the dialogue surrounding value and labour, the artist uses framing as a device to elevate the surface of the work, whilst also halting the material mid-function. With the artists focus gravitating towards potential instances of display, the work itself becomes concerned within its own state, questioning itself at a point of convergence between object and image.

Using a mix of bought and found items, the artist arranges the elements of his work to suggest another possibility of surface. Materials with inherent traits of production and consumption, such as rubber bands, plastics, wood and metal, are all used by the artist in his endeavours to locate hints of material impotence.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
