Canadian Contemporary Artist

Luke Edward Stripp (b. 1995, Surrey, BC, Canada) is a self-taught contemporary artist from Canada, who works and lives in Lethbridge, Alberta. His work is characterized by a vibrant use of colour and a strong sense of emotional freedom. Refusing to be confined to a single style or artistic tradition, he approaches each painting as an open exploration. Colourblind (Deutan-strong, red/green), he embraces this unique perspective as an advantage—liberating him from conventional palettes and allowing intuitive trust to guide his use of colour. Committed to creative autonomy, his practice embraces fluidity, with each piece or collection shaped by spontaneous inspiration. 

 

"I try not to cling to any one idea. Instead, I allow myself the freedom to follow where inspiration leads. Sometimes it transforms into something entirely unexpected; other times, it stays close to the original thought. It always varies—and that’s what I love about creating. It’s a form of freedom within yourself. Sometimes we may not always feel entirely free, yet art becomes a space where that freedom is still possible."
