Jonathan Luke

Jonathan Luke is a full-time multimedia artist based in Wimbledon. His work draws on regular visits to the far north of Scotland (and previously Russia), often incorporating this into abstract and geometric themes. He also uses digital imagery to capitalise on work investigating texture and tone deliverable with coarse canvases, oil paint (often sanded back) and painting mediums.
He exhibits widely across the UK. In 2013 a major solo exhibition of 54 artworks was held at the Russian Academy of Arts (in conjunction with the Moscow Museum of Modern Art) entitled Blue Silence. The title came from a definition by Professor Colum Kenny who said “..it is the silence that is found out of doors, sometimes during simple services on shipboard, faraway at sea…For this deep blue is the creative silence in the world of thought”.
This spirit continues in Jonathan’s work with cool blues still often prominent.
