Artwork Description

This work is inspired by a combination of fairy tales and the religious iconography of saints. The wolves act as a symbol for negative thoughts and self-doubt, and like their fairy tale counterparts they encircle the figure, ready to pounce on their prey. The phrase "Your Light Keeps My Wolves At Bay" is an offering of gratitude to the person in your life who shines their light and aids in returning to a positive mindset.

Artist Bio

Luke Morgan is an artist and arts educator based in Western Australia. His work is mostly figurative in nature and encompasses a range of studio areas with a focus on oil painting, ceramic sculpture and relief printmaking. A reflection on the symbolism of journey and the significance of myth in the formation of identity, his practice is represented in compositions that comment on the uncertainty of 21st century life.

Recent work explores the concept of social control, using street signs as an external representation of the internal forms of control that we place upon ourselves. By combining portraiture, text and symbols of social control, themes of mental health and wellbeing are examined.
