“I like things that can probably be called temporary architecture, or maybe potential architecture? When I see a load of chairs stacked up in a pile I think who are these for? What kind of arrangement will they be put in? And to facilitate what? A performance? A town hall meeting? An AA meeting? Public chairs contain and facilitate a multitude of human experiences. This work is in homage to this simple utility and potential stackable chairs have.”
Jack Burton (b.1988, Barry, South Wales) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. He is the studio assistant to Anselm Kiefer. His works can loosely be described as paintings, though they include a multi-media approach that includes both photography and collage. Influenced by movements such as pop, expressionism, abstract and street art, he merges each of these media within individual works to create an image where each jostles for primacy, and where the perceptions and expectations of each is also disrupted.
