artwork by Michael Burges

Born in Germany in the mid-fifties, Michael Burges paints two-dimensional landscapes where the horizontal and the vertical seem to meet and bleed onto each other. Not miles away from some paintings by another German painter, Gerhard Richter, Burges's works are sometimes reminiscent of a birdview snapshot of the swell on its way to the shore - except in a sea of motley colours.
