Born in Northumberland in 1964, Luke Dickinson originally trained as a stonemason, working at Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals. Thereafter he studied stone carving at City and Guilds, London, followed by undertaking an MA in Site Specific Sculpture at Wimbledon School of Art. He has worked in Carrara, Italy, as well as completing a number of landscape projects in Zimbabwe, Pakistan and India. He has exhibited widely in the UK.
Dickinson's work reflects personal feelings and experiences. The forms which he sculpts have a familiar quality, and, whilst they are never wholly figurative, hover between natural forms and functional manufactured objects, between representation and expression. The intention is to suggest something ancient while being contemporary, delicate in its gravity and purposeful without being explicit. Working with a variety of traditional media, including marble, stone and granite, Dickinson's contemporary practice retains a relationship with ancient and traditional techniques.
