‘The Last Boat of the Summer’ by Luke Edward Sothcott - 2021

Luke is an emerging young British artist living and painting in St Leonard’s, East Sussex.

His friend and contemporary, artist Euan Roberts, describes his work best....
 

“Luke distills his life and experience into his art, allowing unconscious impulses, memories, and thoughts to surface on the canvas organically. He is an artist who has a full arsenal of classical techniques yet often chooses to forgo them, instead prioritising action, movement, and untamed passion in his work. Luke's painting shifts effortlessly from quiet, subtle, and intimate to loud cacophonies of colour and energy. He inserts himself into each picture, examining his past and allowing his future to dance freely into existence.”
