Walker, Luke M

Biography

Luke M. Walker’s practice explores the transitional nature of the built environment. It documents his activities both on the streets and in the studio, through large scale paintings of buildings in transition that are both constructed and undone by the material fluidity of his chosen medium of paint on canvas. This has evolved into several distinct, but related bodies of work united through the ‘London Atlas’ an archive documenting a hundred mile circular walk around the city of London undertaken in 2014. 'Works in Progress' explore the nature of the building site. Through a set of processes that reflect the act of construction; moments of fluidity, interspersed with more rigorous definition and consolidation. They express the materiality, the tension and inherent danger of a building under construction, but also the energy and sense of anticipation it generates. Luke M. Walker has lived in London most of his life and is also an Interior & Spatial Designer and Associate Lecturer at Chelsea College of the Arts. He has been painting and exhibiting his works regularly since 2009 and recently completed an MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School.
