The artwork of Luke Shemroske brings us into landscapes that are shifting, volatile, and, above all, alive. A crowded cityscape blends into veins, bones and viscera. Birds wheel through skies filled with radiating energies. Beneath wander aliens, bogeymen, familiar cartoon characters, giant squids and animated skulls. Most often, we find the artist’s conception of the everyman--a hairless figure with a gray pallor and vacant eyes--seeking connection with his world and its other inhabitants. Visit Project Onward.
