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.
