Luke Webb is a British artist whose work explores media distortion, cultural memory, and the visual politics of the post-truth era. Raised in 1980s Britain amid the peak of Western media influence, Luke developed a keen awareness of how whole regions have been misrepresented in public discourse. Now based in Qatar, his practice draws from this cross-cultural perspective to interrogate the complex narratives that shape perception and power. Through a mix of satire, symbolism, and critical aesthetics, Luke's work acts as a cultural bridge between East and West, offering unique insight into the image systems that define our global moment.
