Description

Montreal-based painter Anthony Burnham is part of a generation of artists who are engaged in re-examining the practice of painting with works that allude to the history and conditions of the medium. The essays in this first monograph discuss the importance of the document to his working methodology and shed light on the processes and ideas that inform his paintings. Even Space Does Not Repeat is co-published with Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa.
