Trash (2020)
Luke Abdallah - Acrylic, found objects & mixed media on canvas. 64cm x 55cm
ABOUT TRASH
Luke has compiled a large quantity of disposable gloves, paper hand towel, tissues and single-use plastic straws to create a highly textured artwork that resembles a trash heap and highlights Luke's concern with the sheer volume of waste that goes to landfill each day. He has overlayed this with bright dabs of colour.
(This work has previously exhibited as part of 'Big Bang' Studio Artes online exhibition Dec 2021)
ABOUT LUKE
Luke Abdallah is an emerging artist, living and working in Sydney, Australia. Focusing primarily on expressive, abstract painting, Abdallah employs a multitude of tools and techniques to apply paint in swathes of texture and colour. Entranced in his artistic process, Abdallah’s gestural paint strokes capture his actions and movement, forming a rich tapestry of rhythmic energy.
Born totally blind and living with elective mutism, Abdallah incorporates multi-sensory inspiration into his works, often drawing expressiveness from a myriad of stimuli - sound, smell, texture, vibration and taste.
Keenly aware of the importance of accessible practice, Abdallah invites his audience to enjoy his works both by sight and by touch.
