Claire Burke

Claire’s work has strong links with the ideas of Clement Greenberg,

the philosophy of abstract expressionism being fundamental

to her ideology.

An unusual approach among young British artists today.

 

The luminous colours and mysterious rectangles

create an aura of presence, deliberately still and quiet,

a meditative play with space, tone, intensity and subtle hues.

 

The paint is painstakingly applied to the canvas,

taking many weeks to produce as multiple layers

of colour move towards a finished form.

 

‘What one actually sees is full of spontaneity

and developing movement that is almost musical

and which also conveys a sense

of the spaciousness of landscape.

 

Her latest work in particular seems to float free of the canvas.

 

This is Art on which the eye dwells on long and lingeringly

but which also gives food for thought.’

 

Dr Nick McAdoo (associate researcher Aesthetics,Open university)

 

 

Claire’s work has been recognised by many

prestigious galleries,critics

and collectors worldwide,

with exhibitions in the west end of London and

America being highlights of this last year.
