Luke Haeger stands as a true maverick-an artist who defies boundaries and seeks complete liberation through his work. Once immersed in a rock 'n' roll lifestyle, he has since entered a meditative ascent through the post-postmodern, hyper-accelerated age of AI. His mission is simple yet profound: to safeguard the essence of humanism and preserve the tangible touch of the artist's hand. Returning to a gonzo-style dream journal practice, Haeger merges annotation and illustration, using his distinct mark-making to engage with the signs, symbols, and shifting meanings of our era. Educated at UCLA and nearly completing his BFA at CalArts, his path diverged into a visionary direction-joining Praxis, a pioneering project creating a new city in the Mediterranean.
As a resident artist at Praxis, Haeger's influence continues to expand. While based in New York City, he works within a movement that blends architecture, philosophy, and art to reimagine society itself. Praxis serves not only as a physical construct but as a hub for radical thought, a space where Luke's practice flourishes. Immersed in this dynamic environment, he forges new pathways between artistic mediums, cultural critique, and existential inquiry.
Through sound, image, and idea, Luke Haeger channels one of art's final frontiers: Total Freedom-a call he captures in his enduring mantra, "viva the wave." His journey is a continual pursuit of transcendence, a refusal to conform, and an embrace of the unknown. Rooted in the creative pulse of New York yet tethered to the visionary framework of Praxis, Haeger embodies the artist as explorer-building worlds where creativity and reality merge, and where the wave, always rising, never breaks.
