LUAP speaks to Art Week about The Hero’s Journey at Andipa Gallery, tracing The Pink Bear from childhood memory into an alter ego through which he explores relationships, identity and emotional experience.
The interview moves through the origins of The Pink Bear, LUAP’s layered Painting process and the childhood wallpaper patterns embedded within the work. He describes individual Paintings as a form of visual diary, discussing Me & My Shadow through ideas of the unconscious and With You, I Am No Longer Alone through love and belonging, while reflecting on the personal relationships and inner feelings that continue to shape the work.
