Career
He holds a Masters in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts, London. René Luckhardt"s practice draws from the peculiar and unconscious. He counts Lewis Carroll and Aleister Crowley among his influences.
He has also built a life-sized grandmother doll.
Luckhardt frequently uses art history by re-contextualizing various positions and presenting them with a surprising twist. His artistic approach is one of experimentation with his own subconscious rather than merely quoting.
In 2010 he initiated the international avant-garde salon Wonderloch Kellerland in Berlin of which a satellite existed in Los Los Angeles Both spaces are included in the Art Spaces Directory of the New Museum, New New York
In 2013 a retrospective of his early Kellerloch Paintings was held in Berlin.
