Luke Edward Hall is an English artist, designer and writer. Luke’s philosophy is shaped by his love of storytelling, nature and fantasy. Though he strives to make work contemporary and alive in feeling, his approach is often inspired by the past, filtered through a lens of vibrant and poetic romanticism.

Luke established his studio in the autumn of 2015, and since then has split his time working on a broad range of projects and across multiple disciplines. He is represented by Athens-based gallery The Breeder and exhibits his work internationally. He also works as an interior designer, creating and art directing hotels and restaurants. For projects of this kind he is represented by Desselle Partners. Previous projects include hotels in Paris and Megève, and a restaurant inside the iconic Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz.
