Patrick Burke was born at 2 Upper Shoreham Road, Kingston-by-Sea, Shoreham, Sussex. He was an artist & writer he studied at Brighton College of Art.Won the Prix de Rome (Engraving).Taught drawing at Wolverhampton College of Art. He gained success in London, Rome & New York.
The works from the height of his careeer are alive with colour, inspired by the time he spent in Italy. He found his own style in the 1970's combining both the abstract & figurative elements. His work is colourful & full of playful images as well as references to other artists work.
Living and working in Rome.Teaching visit to the Gozo School of Art.Patrick started to draw as a child and never stopped.
To his great good fortune his talent was recognised at school by an inspirational teacher, Matt Bruce, and recognised again by the award of the Rome Scholarship for etching.
His etchings show his skill as a draughtsman, his expertise in picture composition, and his talent for endowing a picture with ‘mood’, but give no hint of the direction his work was to take.He himself said that it was the move to Rome in 1957 that changed everything.
He became alive to the possibilities of colour and was soon working in pure abstraction. His close relationship with the George Lester Gallery led to success in Rome and in New York.
His works on paper from the 1960s show a return to a figurative style. The influence of Magritte, Mondrian and Wyndham Lewis are obvious.
By the 1970s he had found his own style.
It was a conflation of the abstract and the figurative and he continued to work in this way for the rest of his life, with only a few exceptions. The work for the next 25 years was colourful and vigorous, full of playful images that repeat from work to work, as well as references to the work of other artists.
The already noted expertise in draughtsmanship, composition and expression of mood was further developed.Patrick was a man of enormous charm and a very short temper, widely educated in many different cultures – poetry and music as well as painting – but at times hopelessly naive about more practical aspects of life.
He had a sense of integrity that even he found hard to live with, destroying paintings that he could have sold but he thought weren’t good enough, and refusing to sell to people he thought didn’t understand the work.
He once remarked that the paintings weren’t important; that they were like footprints in snow: merely evidence that a journey had been made. To Patrick it was the journey that mattered.
