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.

SEVERANCE PACKAGE




Poster designed by me

Severance Package
 11th - 20th October 2025
Rofe Street

Duo show with Max Perkins.

This was the fourth Rofe Street exhibition, and the final exhibition I put on as founder and director of the gallery. We collaborated on every work here.

We were inspired by the obscene amount of people who come to exhibition openings, where there is no possible way to see the work, the only thing left to do is drink and socialise.

Our aim was to turn the opening experience in on itself.  Typical aspects of an opening serve as the work while more traditional forms remain in a space inaccessible to the public.
