LUAP appears on the cover of Aspire Magazine for a feature following The Pink Bear across Painting, Photography and the expeditions that provide the source material for his large-scale works.
The interview moves from the childhood memory behind The Pink Bear to LUAP’s process of photographing the figure in real landscapes before translating those images into layered Paintings. LUAP also discusses his horseback expedition through Mongolia, the physical demands of travelling with up to 20 kg of equipment and his decision to make the images on location rather than compositing The Pink Bear into the landscape afterwards.
