He supports several voluntary organisations and charities and is particularly passionate about empowering young people and women. Currently, he serves a board member of the Young Foundation’s UpRising programme and Manchester International Festival amongst others.
Luthfur says: “I was really impressed with the recent Scarlett Raven ‘The Danger Tree’ installation at Manchester Central Library, and am delighted to continue to develop our relationship by being part of this exciting forthcoming exhibition in Manchester.”
ROBERT OXLEY
Contemporary artist Robert is a former IN:SIGHT finalist and is now one of our most popular artists.
After impressing judges at our Summer Exhibition in 2015, he launched his debut collection – which proved to be the first of many. Capturing the animal kingdom in all its glory, he delights fans with his signature ‘dripping paint’ style, which he describes as “low-brow pop surrealism with a wildlife twist”.
It’s a dream come true for the passionate conservationist, who as a boy hoped to become a zoo keeper. Now the lions, tigers and elephants who roamed his imagination are given new life in his dazzling paintings!
