Luke Twigger's work takes on traditional conventions of art production and propels these forward into a current, wider cultural context. Drawing inspiration from his immediate settings, working class culture, exploring its subcultures, curiosities and aspirations with a playful yet affectionate, shameless attitude.
Making is central to Luke's practice and the process of creation is an important device used to challenge the appropriation of an image or object; its references and implications. Luke chooses to make work from things that already exist, re-working these by photographing/sculpting using analogue methods, allowing the intervention of the artist to alter the way we understand objects and imagery.
Luke’s work combines sculpture and photography to create a dialogue between the two disciplines, particularly, truth and myth. Using photography to create a context and narrative to the reading of the work and uses sculpture to produce iconographic monuments that provide a reality to the myth.
Luke is a self-employed artist, based in Leicester.
