Artist Bio

Deeply rooted in the Caribbean, he professionally exercised for 15 years in all sectors of graphic design. He produced a singular work at the crossroads of pictography, calligraphy and writing. His personal achievements are in the field of experimental visual creation. He studied graphic design in Martinique where he graduated in 1999. In 2012, Luc participated in the ‘Absent Art’ exhibition, part of the 'African and African-Caribbean Design Diaspora' event, an initiative of the British European Design Group. Years before, he participated in some collective art events in Guadeloupe. Next he ran his first individual exhibition in 2015. And in 2016, he was selected in the ‘DIGITAL’ exhibition of the National Gallery of Jamaica. At the same time, he launched a creative and informative blog dedicated to Caribbean Graphic Novels, a project supported by Lespwisavann Publishings, which he co-founded with his father in 2001.
He also nurtures an activity as an author of poetic writings that he accompanies with audiovisual experiences.
In 2019, he participated in ‘Transoceanic Visual Exchange’, exhibition organized by Fresh Milk Barbados. In 2021, he took part of 'Tout ce qui a continué', an international online artistic exchange project dedicated to French-speaking creators (organized by 'Les Transfrontaliers' part of ‘Zônes Théâtrales’ - biennial of theater of National Arts Center of Canada).
That same year, he published 'Images & idées : du design, de la politique' (transl: Images and Ideas: On Design and Politics), a book summarizing twenty years of cultural activity with 'YéClik', the collective he co-founded.
Mentionned in the 2022 'Island Arts & Soul' calendar from the 'Caribbean Museum Center for The Arts' (Frederiksted, US Virgin Islands), Luk published next, in 2023, his first monographic book intitled 'Cheminements' (transl.: 'Paths') dedicaded to his work in creating pictograms.
Then his first youth sci-fi novel 'le rêve de Laël' will be published in 2025 and give us to read an original story towards dreams interpetation concerns in a perhaps not so far future.
