Luke Perry is an English artist known for his monumental sculptures celebrating the heritage of the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the Black Country.

After an early career in documentary film - winning a Bronze medal for short film at the London International Short Film Festival - he returned to the Black Country to establish Industrial Heritage Stronghold (IHS); a not for profit organisation which was to be a vehicle for the production of large-scale public artworks. [2] He began to receive national recognition in 2010 when he was a co-presenter of the Channel 4 television series Titanic:The Mission.[3]
