Exhibit by Luke Avery

The abstract works on display are a self-portrait of thoughts into my abstract life – each with its own unique story that I cannot explain with a simply paragraph. With enthusiasm and passion, a verbal telling is my chosen form.

Reception

Artist reception during the Art Walk on Friday, July 11th from 5:00-8:00pm

Artist Statement

It takes a lifetime to create a body of work. Unknowingly, I’ve lived my life in competition with myself, relentless in a self-absorbed push to realize the next “thing” I think I can accomplish. Taking no time to explain, and enjoy with others, what is directly before me.

Artist Bio

Hello! I’m Luke Avery, the owner of 4Letter Productions. I hail from Vermont. I guess you could say I packed up my wares, headed west, and despite obstacles, managed to prosper in dry goods. Now that’s old school! I’m simply a working man, a Stonemason. My abstract paintings are a reflection of this. Hard work, abstract form- an organized chaos of strength, beauty, form, and function. Mine has been an incredible journey, I await the right questions…

4Letter Designs is a Bozeman, Montana-based company I founded in 2011. I originally started with just my mixed media art, but around 2015, I began using my abstract paintings, turning them into one-of-a-kind clothing-ranging from high fashion/formal wear to casual attire. The process I use is quite unique in that I take digital photos of the painting, edit as necessary, and from there it gets printed onto whichever fabric I choose.

Prior to my most recent collection, I was honored to be chosen as one of the fashion designers for the 2018 New York Fashion Week! What a ride that was, as I was able to learn so much and meet so many amazing people. Together, Laura Harne and I created a few dozen looks for the show… unlike anything that had been down the runway before!

As everyone knows, Downtown Bozeman has become a very recognizable and vibrant destination for people all around the world. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Over the next year, 4Letter studios will be coming to an end. I’d like to thank the community, my friends, and my family for all their support over the years!
