Peter Burns’ paintings address the lost soul, the lone wayfarer, and the anti-hero. The solitary struggle to comprehend the world that looms over us, overpowers us and seals our fate to be ever a stranger in a stranger land.
Recent group exhibitions include: Legacy, 30 th Anniversary, Boyle Arts Festival, 2019, Embodiment with G & N at Bo Lee Gallery, London (2018), Zoologia Fantastica, Solstice, Navan (2018), Fables of the Reconstruction, David & Schweitzer Contemporary, NY (2017), Self Portraits at BravinLee Programs, NY (2016) and Futures Anthology at The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin (2015).
Burns has been featured in Wall Street International Magazine, The Sunday Times and ArtForum. He is a recipient of the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. He was awarded a BA in Sculpture and MFA in Painting from The National College of Art & Design, Dublin.
Burns lives and works in Co. Mayo.
