Luke Rion

Luke Rion is a New Zealand born artist, who is currently based out of Melbourne, Australia. For the last decade his practice has explored figurative and still life subjects, with a particular focus on our nostalgic relationship with objects and the negative space which they inhabit. Rion’s work explores the ephemeral rituals society has with technology and how something so vivid and so relevant in youth fades and eventually becomes discarded and lost.

Read at our interviews (2019 and 2023) with Luke for an insight into his practice.

Take a look at Luke's solo shows: Lost Relics (2019) and The Island (2023).
