British artist Luke Samuel approaches his paintings with a deep appreciation for them as objects in space. His canvases are hung in precise relationships on the walls of his studio as he works, with each composition informing the others. The works are made in conversation with one another and one canvas may end up being repainted ten times, its iterations layered on top of one another.
Luke Samuel was born in Cardiff and lives and works in London. He studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and presented his work in the Royal Academy Schools Show in the summer of 2022. He gained a BA in fine art at Goldsmiths College, London (2015) and a diploma in art at Howard Gardens College of Art (2012). His work was shown in the RBA Rising Stars show curated by the Royal Society of British Artists (2018); Kupfer Projects, London (2022); Class Reiss, London (2021) and Union Pacific, London (2021).
