Spotlight: Luke Embden
// May 22nd, 2012 // View Comments // b-inspired, b-street, featured
Street art can take on many a form. Traditionally developed in public spaces, perhaps the medium of aerosol painted stencilled guerrilla art may be first image that pops into mind. Contemporary street artists are changing the perceptions of the artform everyday and the stigma of vandalism that once stood is being broken down piece by piece. There’s something rather special about street art style and in particular large mural pieces. Perhaps it’s the size of space or the freedom to create an artwork that’s organic and evolves within that space? All of which brings me on to the latest work of London based artist Luke Embden.
Luke’s work stems from a passion for graffiti, Pop Art flavours and freeform typography. His style is extremely bold and has a spontaneous flow to it yet retains a clean aesthetic throughout its multiple layers of lines, shapes and illustrations. Using a variety of mediums he experiments with screen printing and risography to create the stunning final output.
Having worked for a host of clients since graduating in 2005 his latest mural work is for beverage company Desperados, implementing lemons, limes, tequila leafs and sunset; all elements that sum up what the Desperados brand means to its fan base.
The most impressive element of Luke’s work seems to be just how well his ideas flow and how his style can be used in multiple applications. Impressive work.
