Luke Edward Stripp (b. May 2, 1995, Surrey, BC) is an emerging Canadian painter known for his bold, high-contrast contemporary oil paintings that weave together narrative, statement, and emotion. 

​

Art didn’t come early in his life, but when it arrived, it was inescapable. Stripp says. “You find yourself unable to think about anything else other than creating; it’s all inside us, just waiting to come out.” His defining moments often take place beyond the studio walls, drawn from real-world events that shape his vision.

​

If you were to step into his studio, you’d see an ecosystem of boards — finished and unfinished — alongside wine bottles, brushes, and paints. His work carries threads of longing, but also blends storytelling, statements, and raw emotion. “Those are the key contributors to my guide,” he explains.

​

The experience he hopes to give is layered. Some pieces embrace you like a warm hug; others ignite a sense of fury. 

​

Outside the studio, Stripp finds awareness in quiet walks in the park, the pages of books, and attending events in his local city. He doesn’t separate art from life; for him, they are the same current. Whether his work hangs in the Louvre or in a private living room, his aim remains unchanged: that it is felt and experienced.
