Luke Perry (artist)

Luke Perry (born 1983) is an English artist known for his monumental sculptures most especially those celebrating under-represented peoples and the heritage of the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the Black Country.

Trained at Birmingham School of Art, Margaret Street, Perry gained a first class honours with his degree piece (untitled steel manifesto) winning recognition as the only public artwork ever to be featured in the New Generation Arts Festival whilst the accompanying short film 'Poveri Fiori' went on to win awards for film in London.

He has won numerous awards to date including the Cultural Champions Award (Presented by the Minister for Culture Ed Vaizey MP) and Birmingham City University Alumni of the year and a Black Country Masters.

He began to receive national recognition in 2010 when he was a co-presenter of the Channel 4 television series Titanic:The Mission.

[2] In recent years Luke has dedicated his practice towards creating sculptures that level the playing field regarding equal representation of diverse groups in the UK and continues to work on and develop sculptures to this end such as the Lions of the Great War Monument in Smethwick, SS Journey - A Monument to Immigrants and Aethelflaed Queen of Mercia.
