LUAP speaks to Runway Gallery Magazine about The Unconscious Therapy, his solo exhibition at 95 New Bond Street, and the personal experiences, travel and Photography that shape his wider practice.
In conversation with Lee Sharrock, LUAP discusses the origins of The Pink Bear through therapy and childhood memory, alongside themes of isolation, connection and mental health. The interview moves through his travels in search of source Photography, the translation of those images into Painting, his collaboration with curator MC Llamas, and the immersive approach behind The Unconscious Therapy. LUAP also reflects on The Pink Bear as a deliberately expressionless figure, allowing viewers to bring their own experiences and emotions to the work.
