UK artist Luke Hannam describes his work as the result of an ‘ordered chaos’ where poetic paintings are made ‘in the eye of the storm’, where creativity spins wildly, through bursts of impulse around a silent meditative deep well of meaning. Ideas emerge out of an energetic dedication to drawing and a relentless desire to explore images and motifs. His work is instantly recognisable through his strong punch of colour and definite use of line which weaves its way sensuously across the surface, denoting both the delicacy and strength of the form and spirit of the subject. Hannam’s paintings expressively offer a singular view on how what he sees, how he thinks and pivotally how he feels about the human condition and what lies beyond our materiality. His work could be seen to continue the Romantic tradition, embracing reality and mysticism with the wonder of experience.

Luke Hannam was born in 1966 and currently lives in East Sussex, UK. He studied Fine Art in the 1980s and whilst others of his generation faithfully chanted the conceptual mantra of the time, Hannam focussed on perfecting his expressive drawing skills seeking inspiration from the earlier masters. Works have been exhibited and collected internationally, including the collections of Stefan Simchowitz and David Kowitz.
