Before launching GENTLE MUTILATION, Luk was involved in various creative projects, such as music & events, creating art and directing music videos. He also worked on set for film and fashion productions, and collaborates with many artists and musicians. Luk is passionate about promoting cultural projects that challenge the norm. He is driven by his responsibility as an artist to make the future cool, and has a strong design ethos backed by a diverse skill set that make him a hyper-capable individual in the London creative scene.
In 2017 LUK AND OTHERS CONVERTED A DERELICT BUILDING INTO A CLUB IN ELEPHANT AND CASTLE, IT BACAME A LEGENDARY VENUE FOR MUSIC AND CREATIVE PROJECTS, IT WAS DEMOCRATIC AND RADICALLY INCLUSIONARY. AND AT ITS PEAK WAS CONSIDERED LONDONS NO.1 UNDERGROUND SUPERCLUB. THERE WERE 3 ROOMS FOR MUSIC, AN OUTSIDE COURTYARD AND A MIRIAD OF SOCIAL SPACES AND ART INSTALLATIONS.
MANY OF THE ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS THAT PERFORMED HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED, AND THE UNNAMED VENUE HAS LEGENDARY STATUS AMONG THE COMMUNITY THAT FORMED AROUND IT, AFTER ITS CLOSURE AND DEMOLITION IN 2018 THE PROJECT EVOLVED AND CONTINUED TO HOST MUSIC EVENTS AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN LONDON.
BELOW ARE SOME OF THE SURVUIVING FLYERS USED TO PROMOTE THE EVENTS
