ARTIST STATEMENT:

“I created this artwork because I need catharsis. We all have pent up emotions that are worth releasing in creative form, as they take on a nature of their own and bring us to peace with ourselves. Contending with the unknown, on the edge of chaos and order, one foot in either frontier, the yin and yang, from beneath these paintings shines the glistening beams of the unknown. A WINDOW INTO THE TRANSCENDENT”

BIO:

Lucas Lovejoy works explore the nature of beauty, and the idea of God as love. Rather than optimizing for symmetry and superficial perfection, he uses uneven edges and asymmetrical shapes. These forms are ubiquitous in nature, and exude honesty; they have nothing to hide. His works take each viewer on a journey of self discovery, tying complex narratives with playful characters.

He grew up in Los Angeles’ Echo Park district. He moved to New York for school, and completed his studies in Studio Art and Finance at NYU. Jesus’ loving kindness is the source of his life.
