LUAP speaks with PetaPixel about Photography as a central part of his practice, from the evolution of camera technology to the way images made on location become the starting point for Painting.
The interview follows LUAP’s move from film to digital and later mirrorless cameras, while retaining the qualities of Photography that continue to shape the work. He discusses using traditional photographic formats within his Paintings, the physical role of brushwork and his preference for capturing images in-camera rather than constructing them digitally. LUAP also returns to the origins of The Pink Bear and its deliberately neutral expression, which leaves space for viewers to bring their own emotions to the work.
