Brendan Stuart Burns (b.1963) is a leading Welsh painter who draws inspiration from the natural world of his native country and beyond. Providing, for the first time, an overview of the artist's career to date, this important publication traces his work's evolution towards full artistic maturity. Addressing key aspects of Burns' oeuvre, such as the materiality of the work and its relationship to the environment, the book discusses the wider philosophical framework which underpins his painting while also considering its historical and contemporary influences. Written in close collaboration with the artist, Ian Massey's authoritative account of Burns' impressive career is essential reading for all those interested in contemporary British painting and new visual interpretations of landscape.
Ian Massey is an independent art historian, writer and curator specialising in Modern British Art. His publications include monographs about Patrick Procktor, Keith Vaughan and John Blackburn.
