Art Makes Columbus
Christopher Burk

Christopher Burk

Painting
My ever-evolving work focuses on that of the urban landscape. One would find that there are two major contributing elements in almost of my work, those being architectural structures and utility wires, and how they interact with both the man-made and organic elements that are found in their mundane environments --- with the latter of the two being even more significant as the main subject matter. Symbolically represented in my paintings, the utilitarian wires serve as the connectors of communities, news and information --- even today in a modern world that is rapidly going wireless.

I have exhibited extensively, including shows at Brandt-Roberts Galleries, Prince Street Gallery, Viridian Gallery, George Billis Gallery, The Bonfoey Gallery, The Riffe Gallery, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Ohio Art League, and the Columbus Cultural Arts Center. 
 
I am available for commissions. If interested please email me at rooflinestudios@gmail.com
