Luke Burton
Luke Burton (b.1983) lives and works in London. He holds a BA in Painting from Chelsea College of Art and Design and an MA Sculpture degree at Royal College of Art.
He has an ongoing interest in how symbolism operates across decorative visual culture and questions the relationship between craft, ornament and fine art in relation to taste, objecthood and materiality within painting. In addition to more conventional modes of painting, Burton is also interested in seeing painting as an expanded field, specifically in his use of seemingly anachronistic media such as folding screens or vitreous enamels.
