Luke Martin

 

Cerberus

Luke Martin manages, time and time again, to seize the soul and expression of the rebellious-minded and indefatigably binds Nature’s perpetual motion through his unique technique that so resembles that of the Old Masters, without falling back onto the moralistic male declaration of independence of his predecessors.

Through his art one moves away from the outer World, into the Universe of the Soul.

Luke Martin

Luke V. Martin (Aurelius) is the head of EMS in Nelspruit, the chairman of the Nelspruit Theosophical Centre, and a member of the Nelspruit Sanatana Dharma. He is a steadfast devotee of the Mother.

By some, described as an “outsider” artist, Luke’s art is a temenos, a sacred precinct where beauty, perfection and order are sacrificed to the eyes of the compassionate onlooker who chooses to stop and contemplate the makings of his Dionysian heart.

Luke’s art interprets western canons and is a battleground pitting the Apollonian desire for order, light and beauty with the dark chthonic force of feminine nature. His art is brilliant and compelling.
