A series of large scale charcoal depictions of the city that are an attempt to capture it’s complexities, layers and individual landmarks, particularly in relation to the River Thames. Having lived and worked in London for most of his life, Luke spends much of his time walking the streets and connecting together the routes, infrastructure and architecture which he uses as the starting point for each piece. Taking a different viewpoint and imagining how the city would present itself before him. He then uses a combination of Apple 3D mapping, his own photographs and old London A to Z’s to build up the compositions before working into each piece intuitively. Luke is keen to preserve the texture of the charcoal without hiding it under glass and so has developed a method of fixing and sealing the works onto the canvas with several thin layers of UV protective lacquer. They do however need a degree of care and consideration when choosing where to install them to protect the surfaces.
