Modelling agency profile

Luke Martins is an artist, designer, and facilitator of creative projects and events. He founded Rofe Street Gallery in 2023. As a MFA Alumni graduating from National Art School, Sydney in 2025, his practice generally leans toward sculpture and installation, though conceptually and materially is not tied to any one medium. 

His medium free creative practice  critiques and explores the methods in which we collaborate and fraternise with institutions to commodify identity — culturally, spiritually, and artistically. He explore ideas of global citizenship, the new age self-help industrial complex, and the ways we share knowledge, experiences and inspiration with one another. His MFA work is about being inspired and as artists what we do with the materials of inspiration to develop our unique “style”.

Outside of the contemporary gallery space, he often works on music and fashion related projects, such as; styling,  zine publication, music video, graphic design, and clothing design.

“This work materialises Martins's experience of his studio-based Master of Fine Arts degree over the past two years. A greenhouse—an incubator for growth and productionholds the remnants of discarded artworks and ideas. A stock-image sun provides a synthetic optimism for inspiration to germinate.” - Lucy Latella (curator)

Untitled (playlist)
2025

found media video work
1hour 3mins 37secs
Shown in my final MFA studio installation at the National Art School.

This work is a compilation and at times mashup of videos I had been collecting in a youtube playlist over the final year of my degree.

I chose to have music playing over the whole video because thats what I do usually no matter what I’m doing I’m either listening to music or reminded of music in the process.
