LUAP features in Art Plugged ahead of an intimate conversation with curator Vestalia Chilton at The Exhibitionist Hotel, exploring The Pink Bear, Painting, mental health and his recent horseback expedition through Mongolia.
The article traces The Pink Bear back to a childhood memory rediscovered during Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and its development into the central figure within LUAP’s practice. It also connects the work to environmental concerns and his recent Mongolia journey, before looking at What A Wonderful World, the large-scale Paintings exhibited throughout The Exhibitionist Hotel, and LUAP’s immersive Installation created there for Kensington and Chelsea Art Week.
