Recent Paintings: Brendan Stuart Burns

About

Rosenberg & Co. is excited to welcome Brendan Stuart Burns back to New York. Our newly expanded gallery space allows us to display the true scale of Burns’ work, so clearly tied to the sublime scale of the artist’s panoramic muse: the coastal lands of Wales, Iceland, and California. Ever captivating, Burns’ canvases beckon closer examination: the laborious detail of the treated linen surface; the delicate thickness of oil built up with wax; the charged colors, at once natural and fantastic.

Speaking to his new body of work, Burns writes: “These are new paintings, and new places and travels continue to inspire a desire to make paintings that allow thought itself to breathe. Glisten is simply the celebration of sunlight passing through the leaves of a Californian red maple; Yearn presents on a huge scale the beauty of the Pride of Madeira flower on the Monterey coast; Tumble reflects on the glacial expanses creeping and breaking up towards the sea; and Nuzzle sings out the vast array of color found in the flora of moss-covered lava fields.”
