Born in Sheffield in 1923, William Burns RIBA FSAI FRSA studied at the Sheffield College of Art, before the outbreak of the Second World War during which he helped illustrate the official War Diaries for the North Africa Campaign, and was elected a member of the Armed Forces Art Society. On his return to England, he studied architecture at Sheffield University and later ran his own successful practice, being a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. However, painting had always been his self-confessed 'first love', and in the 1970s he gave up architecture to become a full-time artist, having his first one-man exhibition in 1979.
William Burns FRSA FSAI (1923-2010) was a painter and architect, born Cecil William Burns in Sheffield. He studied briefly at Sheffield College of Art during the Second World War. Following Army service, during which he helped illustrate the official War Diaries for the North Africa Campaign, he was elected a member of the Armed Forces Art Society. After the war, Burns began to study architecture.
By the early 1960’s he had formed his own architectural practice and was later elected to the Society of Architectural Illustrators. Once established, however, he returned to painting as a relief from the unyielding practice of architectural drawing. He exhibited at the ROI and RA and held his first solo London exhibition at the Twentieth Century Gallery, Fulham in 1987. Burns also became a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Stylistically his work is much influenced by the paintings of Arnesby Brown, Bertram Priestman and Edward Seago.
