Canadian artist Drew Burnham’s vivid colour, stylized form, and glazed painted lines make his works leap to life. New works are on exhibition in Poetry of Place through Aug 3 at Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver. (Above: Channel Run, 44.5 x 48 in., oil and acrylic on canvas.)
Burnham has been painting coastal British Columbia for decades, based on Vancouver Island. (Above, Port Renfrew, 48 x 48, oil and acrylic on canvas.)

It’s a fantasy world, rich and luring.
He is a phenomenal artists who loves to paint, I think.
He must love Emily Carr, but that’s just another thought from my head.
Thank you!
I bet he does love Emily Carr, or, in the way of Vancouver Island, he’s affected by the magic of the place! I love the approach that it’s a fantasy world. Thank you.
Wow !!
Exactly. Oh how I wish . . .
