BIOGRAPHY

Lucas Weschke comes from Cornwall, where he was influenced by many of the local artists throughout his childhood. He has lived and worked in Dorset since 1996. He makes block prints.

He uses his subject matter as a vehicle to capture the essence of an idea in a simple and attractive manner. His chosen medium is well suited to this aim of distillation. The form and colours work within the constraints of the medium to produce an image that is both elemental and expressive. A composition might be inspired by a specific incident or setting, but is primarily conceived as an appropriate means of portraying something intangible in our experience.

Lucas Weschke has exhibited successfully in Bridport, Dorchester (Open 08 prizewinner) and Weymouth, including mixed exhibitions with the Rodwell Artists. Each hand-made ‘original print’ is a unique piece of art, which is signed and numbered by the artist as part of a limited edition.
