LUAP is profiled by C-A-K-E in an in-depth interview tracing the childhood memories, environmental concerns and personal experiences that developed into The Pink Bear and his wider art practice.
The feature moves from LUAP’s early fascination with Photography and childhood experiences in Grimsby to the recurring memories that later entered his work, including patterned wallpaper, climbing trees and an old family photograph that helped shape The Pink Bear. It explores bodies of work including I Used to Be a Polar Bear and Bed Time Stories, where childhood innocence is set against climate change, environmental damage and contemporary social concerns, while also following LUAP’s journey through art school, his parallel career as a Creative Director and the development of an international exhibition practice.
