Brian Burke: Artist Talk – ArtNetdlr presents one of the most prolific Irish artists working today, to discuss his extraordinary ideas and creative processes.

Dublin born artist Brian Bourke studied at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and St. Martin's School of Art, London. He represented Ireland at the Paris Biennale in 1965, claimed first prize in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art competition in 1967, and received the O'Malley Award from the Irish-American Cultural Institute in 1993.

Bourke is well known for his very distinctive portraits and self portraits which combine strong colours and often caricature-like distortion. His early landscapes and life-size nude self-portraits in various series shows his interest in observational work and fictional narrative. Bourke's work informed by classical art and literature and artist's own Dublin background, adding a wild, urban energy to all his work. His works are in many important collections and galleries throughout Europe. He is an elected a member of Aosdána and an Honorary member of the Royal Hibernian Academy.

A place where everyday life, dreams and aspirations are stifled, basic rights denied, and lives lived unfulfilled. This is Young's immersive and visceral reflection on life in the West Bank Palestine prior to the 2023/24 war, interweaving dance, film, live music & text. With a cast of international dancers including members of the El-Funoun
