Jonathan Luckhurst currently lives and works in Edmonton, Canada. He has experimented widely with his photographic work - incorporating paper negatives, photocopies, charcoal and projection into his highly layered process. More recently, he has begun to explore sculpture and the ways in which he can bring elements of botany, sustainability and education into fully immersive works.
Luckhurst is the recipient of several grants from the Canada Council for the Arts (ACDI), the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Edmonton Arts Council. His work is part of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts permanent collection. His first solo exhibition was in 2010 at WAVE Gallery (Brescia, Italy) and in 2011 his first book was published by WAVE Editions.
In 2015 Luckhurst participated in the Vancouver Biennale International Residency Program where he created a large scale three-panel photographic intervention in a public space that explored the intersection of human made structures and the natural environment.
