My paintings are the primary way in which I try to understand the complexities of the region where I live. Most of my work is built on themes of human perception, the boundaries and possibilities of our senses, and the importance of individual and collective memory in shaping cultural imagery and aesthetics of place. I like to use common Western imagery and symbolism to create conceptual works that are Western in aesthetic but employ themes that are widely applicable to the American experience. I feel compelled as an artist to express how this absolutely one-of-a-kind place has the ability to profoundly impact all those who exist within it, whether we are aware of it or not. - Luke Anderson
