Luke McTaggart

Luke McTaggart is a Painter from Amble, Northumberland. For him painting is a means of making sense of the world and his place within it. Using the landscape and his experience of it he navigates the fields, lanes and shores of his corner of the North-East, painting responses involved with the fleeting feelings associated with different weather, times of day and light. As much as he is concerned with the external world he is as equally preoccupied with the internal requirements of the painting, giving deep attention to the abstract and formal qualities of painting. The division of space within both the canvas edges and the illusionistic space depicted are for him points of deep consideration.

In July 2022 he graduated Northumbria University with a First-class Degree in Fine Art and is currently pursuing painting full-time in Amble.
