I’ve Kissed Goodbye to the High Commissioner Painting

Luke’s works serve as document to a sensitive engagement between painter and the painted. Envisioned as systems, the paintings present a lineage of negotiation concerned with temporality and the limitations of compatibility in regards to visual information. Obvious anchorages in relationships between colour and form provide ground for intricate collisions where autobiographical material tussles in the rigour of foundational considerations of what is required to construct a picture. Delicate, harmonious expanses are propagated with the distinct intention of subjecting to an eclectic array of treatments to produce challenging and comprehensive reflections upon the human condition.
