Drew Burnham – Poetry of Place

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.)

  1. 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!

    1. 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.
