The territories mapped out by Luke Elwes in these works have the appearance of a recorded space grounded in memory, while remaining elusive and fluid.
Serpentine forms and dynamic gestures emerge and dissolve in the falling light and rising water; where space - a fusion of sea and desert - seems simultaneously to be stretched and erased, oscillating between presence and absence, the paintings induce a state of contemplative reverie.
Luke Elwes is a painter whose journeys have exposed him to the culture, beliefs and landscapes of others, and have acted as a catalyst for his own line of enquiry into the nature of our relationship to the world. This exploration can be traced back to his childhood in Persia and to his first significant encounter with the desert at the start of the 1990s.
