Brendan Stuart Burns paints luscious abstractions of landscapes, magically capturing their pure essence. Using only a palette knife to paint, he mixes oil and wax until the viscosity is tantamount to luscious frosting. Metallic solvents and a turpentine wash enables him to yield an etheric base layer over a raw linen canvas. His paintings are sophisticated abstractions from afar, and a joy to explore up close.
