Artist Statement
“My work explores relationships between fine art and the subcultures of Americana found in automotive-customizing culture, style-writing culture, and street art—all of which display extremely high technical values developed outside of academia. I identify with these values and am diligent in my attention to the quality and individuality of each work. While working, I think of the customization process that overturns the standardization of automobile mass production into vehicular uniqueness. I continually play with balance, both physical and aesthetic, creating a visual smoothness or sleekness, what I would call ‘Super Sleek.’” Luke Achterberg, Lexington, Kentucky
