LUKE ADAM SINCLAIR

A new body of work is on the way. After much soul searching I have made the move back into the studio with a solid plan to be realised within 12 months. An obsession with an imagined post human world is the basis for an exploratory series of sketches and paintings. My artist statement will be available shortly but as this is the beginning of a rather fluid notion, it will be something that will be edited from time to time.

For the time being I will post the animated version of a book I was read at my primary school that changed me for life. Some may remember ‘When the Wind Blows’. Many years of bad dreams followed that day.

This is an important gathering which I may or may not be able to attend. If you are an inner north Melbourne artist it is a chance to be involved in some innovative discourse.

Luke Adam Sinclair was born in the bushy, outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. At school he was known as a talented artist who was also an aspiring young Air Cadet. Later, when he moved to inner-city Melbourne, he forgot about flying planes and immersed himself in painting, drawing, and Melbourne’s indie-rock scene. He completed a Diploma of Visual Arts at RMIT in 1997, and graduated from Victorian College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) in 2006. He currently lives in Melbourne’s inner-north with his wife and young son, and works as an artist.

Luke began painting and drawing on anything and everything as a child, including his maths books and bedroom walls, and later went on to illustrate a number of small publications for his school and other organisations in his teenage years. His love of techno and pop culture images soon merged with his fine art training, and this playful mix of high and low themes continues in his work today. Luke has also worked as a teacher of art, digital illustration and web and game animation at secondary schools around Victoria. In 2011 he was awarded a Special Commendation for his illustration ‘Birds, Dinosaurs and Monotremes’ in the KokoBlack Easter Drawing Prize.
