Sculpture
Luke Osaro Oyameda was born in 1977 in Lagos. Luke is a Nigerian contemporary sculptor who has a Bachelor of Art degree from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State. Through his love for sculpting, he portrays his perception of the interplay of time and chance on the human experience as we live out friendship, love, dreams, hope, and anxiety with bronze cast, bonded stone, and glass fiber as his preferred media.
His works are characterized by a texturized pattern which does not disrupt the well-proportioned forms of his sculpture, this makes his style difficult to miss. To Luke, sculpture represents new beginnings, hope, refreshing, awakening, nature, creation, legacy, and history; with it, he experiments on ways to communicate history, norms, nuances, royalty and cultural presence.
He has participated in several group exhibitions home and abroad. He is a member of the society of Nigeria and Art Zero group.
