    PRESS RELEASE - RHS CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW, 2024


    SITE NUMBER : SR139

    Artist Statement
    Luke Adam Hawker, an artist based in Surrey, finds inspiration
    by immersing himself in the world around him. Drawing on
    location has become his way of connecting with places, people,
    and the natural environment, allowing him to capture the
    essence and beauty of our world.

    Luke will be presenting a new body of work that celebrates


    trees as ‘Living Legends.’ Each piece endeavors to convey
    the vital role that trees play in sustaining life on our planet
    and their enduring impact on human culture and history.
    Through his art, Luke hopes to inspire a sense of reverence and
    responsibility towards these ancient giants, encouraging us all
    to preserve and protect them for future generations.

    The Wren Project.

    Luke’s upcoming collaboration with St James’s Piccadilly involves drawing its


    magnificent Magnolia tree at the easel in the church grounds, before bringing
    the tree inside to be drawn amidst the beautiful surroundings of Christopher
    Wren’s architecture. This initiative supports the fundraising campaign for the
    ‘Wren Project’, aimed at revitalising the historic church and its garden. Luke will
    contribute the original artwork for auction, with 50% of print sales proceeds also
    directed to the campaign.

    St James’s Piccadilly is set to become the first place of worship to have a show
    garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in recent years, designed by Robert Myers.
    This garden, sponsored by Project Giving Back will help support efforts to raise
    £20m for The Wren Project, highlighting the vital role of urban green spaces in
    healing and community outreach.

    Chelsea Flower Show 2024 - Trade Show Stand

    A key design feature of Luke’s trade stand showcase at the Chelsea Flower Show, will be the dried canopy of flowers, covering the full expanse
    of the ceiling. Over the past six months Luke’s studio in Dorking, Surrey, has been collecting ‘used’ flowers from neighbours, all in an effort to
    repurpose blooms past their prime. These have all then carefully hung and dried in the studio.
    The Mid Surrey Community Fridge has also played an integral role in this endeavor, generously collecting ‘out of date’ flowers from local Surrey
    supermarkets. All of these beautiful flowers, which might have otherwise met a different fate, will now grace the Chelsea Flower Show.
