Luke Drozd


About

Practicing visual artist based in London with work having been shown on an international level. Recently completed an MAFA at Chelsea College of Art and Design and also working as a freelance artist, illustrator and lecturer.

Statement

My practice takes in a multitude of arts disciplines grounded in sculpture and drawing, yet the core focus of my work is about making. I think it’s about trying to find relationships and tensions between materials and objects and, to some extent, letting my hands make decisions.

The works are ultimately about the joy of making and the joy of looking, and could be seen as totems for the seriously frivolous or the courageously silly.
