    Luke Butler was born in 1971 in San Francisco, CA. He studied at the Cooper Union School of Art in NYC (1989-1993) and at the California College of Arts in San Francisco (2006-2008). Luke Butler toys with contemporary mythology and looks for where convention and logic diverge. For his series “Leaders of Men” for example, he is contradicting a very static, established image of the presidents of the United States by making them into heroic nudes. Haven taken part in many group exhibitions, Luke Butler had his first two solo shows in 2008 and 2009 at Second Floor Projects and Silverman Gallery in San Francisco. In 2008 he was nominated for the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship Award.

Since his first solo show in 1986, he has exhibited extensively, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
