Luke Anderson is a self-taught landscape painter and mixed media artist originally from Wyoming and working out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Anderson's surfaces combine elements of abstraction and graphic design along with the more painterly styles often associated with traditional western and landscape painting. Iconic western subjects like mountains, deserts, clouds, and sunsets are reduced to flattened, abstract, two-dimensional shapes. Drawing inspiration from early-20th-century modernist painting, minimalist abstract painting, and other media such as printmaking and digital graphic design, Anderson's canvases feature jagged shapes, hard edges, and soft, neutral color palettes with a subtle antique quality. Strong senses of spatial depth and atmospheric perspective are common visual themes. His work has been exhibited at prominent regional art institutions, including the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Coors Western Art Show in Denver, Colorado, the Springville Museum of Art in Springville, Utah, the Sears Art Museum at Utah Tech University in St. George, Utah, the Nicolaysen Art Museum in Casper, Wyoming and the Old West Museum in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He has been featured in the pages of well-known western art magazines and publications, including Western Art Collector, Southwest Art Magazine, Western Art and Architecture, and Big Sky Journal.
