#lukerocha

From now until the convention (Aug. 29th) we will be providing you with sneak peaks of some of the local and regional zine artists that will be tabling the 1st KC Zine Con. Our roster is filling up fast, but there is still time to apply to table! Trust us, you’ll be in good company! Everyone, meet Luke Rocha!

Luke Rocha is a self-taught artist who creates sculptures, installations, publications, and collages from a wide range of found materials and media. Particularly interested in the lesser-known or underappreciated expressions and artifacts of specific cultures and subcultures, Rocha, a consummate collector, seeks to re-focus attention on these forms while bringing them into new dialogue with one another in the present.

Rocha’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions at several galleries throughout the Midwest. His illustration work has been featured in national publications including the magazines Riot, Wax Poetics, Rides, Studio Visit and others. His Zines have been featured and profiled in Juxtapoz and Art Forum.
