Tom Burckhardt Art

American, b. 1964

Tom Burckhardt was born in New York City in 1964. He is known for exploring the artistic process and subverting the boundary between representation and abstraction. Noting his avoidance of painting on canvas and preferring to use book-pages and molded plastic and traditional art materials for his sculptures, critic John Yuan described Burckhardt’s aim as to “destabilize the grand tradition of painting and sculpture while simultaneously finding non-nostalgic ways to honor them”. Burckhardt’s 2011 installation 157 Elements of a Painting attempted to deconstruct notions of painting with 157 bold, colorful images that contained quasi-recognizable forms with fragmentary motifs and painterly elements. In the same spirit, Full Stop, a detailed cardboard-and-black-paint recreation of an artist’s studio, complete with art books on the shelves and a blank canvas, was an attempt to undermine the material aspect of installation art.

He uses lushly colored and patterned images from all kinds of sources that bounce between abstraction and representation. Images come from tool catalogs, paper and fabric patterns, funhouse painting, architectural details, stripes, dots and squiggles. It is as if Burckhardt is a cartoonist merrily channeling Ellsworth Kelly, Paul Feeley, Robert Therrien, and Myron Stout, among others. Like Red Grooms, for whom he worked as an assistant, Burckhardt ransacks his influences yet ends up with something unmistakably his own. His work bears the influence of is a synthesis of many things: the tribal-influenced abstract painting of Steve Wheeler...
