REDSEA Gallery is pleased to present a new exhibition by Brisbane artist, Luke Barker.

Focusing on people in high density urban settings, Luke’s work captures the behaviour,  diversity and spirit of society, and the city environment we have created and  simultaneously adapted to, by living in such a high concentration of numbers. The city environment itself, more and more proves a worthy subject in Luke’s work, as it is  often changing and unique similar to the people found within it. The added intrigue for  Luke is to capture aspects of these environments which we can all in some way can relate  to. They are only existing because of the human psychological need to gather and  cohabitate in such an extreme way, and to keep building these fortresses called cities  around us.

No matter which city you are in, whether in ‘street fronts or back alleys’, or whatever your  interests or walks of life, for the first true time in its history, “graffiti/street art” has  everyone standing side by side in unison, really examining, pointing out, and discussing,  but “appreciating” an evolved art form – Luke Barker.

Luke was a Finalist in the 2012 Sir John Sulman Prize and a Wynne Prize Finalist in 2011.  Luke was invited to participate in the 2012 and 2013 Tattersall’s Club Landscape Art  Prize.
