Luke Foster/ About

“Find happiness in making others happy.”

Mary MacKillop

My name is Luke Foster and I am a visual artist and writer. I studied at College of Fine Arts in the early nineties in Sydney and have had over twenty solo exhibitions and quite a few residencies mainly at the Big Ci in the Blue Mountains Australia and also at Mothership in Brooklyn New York.

I have written lots of essays mainly on my website.

Most of my art is multidisciplinary meaning I make installations melding together video art, sculpture, installation, performance and drawing.

Artists that inspire me include Yoshitomo Nara from Japan, Wolfgang Laib from Germany, and Louise Bourgeois from America.

These days I mainly focus on making photos, video performance and drawings with text around spirituality particularly studying the Catholic saints female and male with humour.

I find that I try to have attempts at humour to make my art and writing more palpable.
