Working from his semi-rural studio in Maple Ridge, Roger Luko has spent decades creating an extensive body of classically rendered sculptures, paintings and drawings that can only be described as ‘sublime’. His youthful studies at the City and Guilds of London Art School; Sir John Cass College in London, England; the Accademia di belle Arti in Rome Italy; and the Idun Loven Art School in Stockholm, Sweden, have clearly served him well. While much of his youthful tutelage was undertaken at these revered European institutions, the entire spectrum of Luko’s artistic oeuvre has emerged as straightforward and ‘honest’ as the man himself.
