Luke O'Halloran was born in
California and received his BFA from the
University of Colorado Boulder in 2014. O'Halloran typically paints and draws various subjects in motion including slot machines and casino games, bowling balls, fruits falling from baskets, and free falling cats. Of the cats, O'Halloran notes that felines have both a nonlethal terminal velocity and a righting reflex, adaptations he hopes humans can strive for one day. Influences include early
Jasper Johns's number paintings and
Vija Celmins. ==References==
