Lucas Korte currently resides in South Bend, IN. He has taught drawing and painting at the University of Notre Dame, the South Bend Museum of Art, and the Snite Museum of Art. He received his M.F.A. from the University of Notre Dame after studying biology at Wayne State University and fine art at the College for Creative Studies, both in Detroit. His work deals with the nonhuman generally, originally focusing on invertebrate forms as revealed by the science of biology, with an aim towards questioning the figure of the human and the central position it has held in the universe in Western culture. His current work deals with the inorganic, examining and pushing notions of inanimate matter as active, productive, and consequential in the universe, both for itself and for human life. His work has been exhibited nationally in Detroit, Chicago, and Oakwood GA.
