Christopher Burch is an artist and educator. His works conflate the distinctions between lived/living human experience, mythology, folklore, and history. Otherworldly yet infused with a gripping sense of reality. Within Burch’s works, influenced by the accounts of painting, narrative, portraiture, landscape, folklore, surrealist literature, and Black rituals of transfiguration (both sacred and secular), we see life and death, rebirth, retribution, and the afterlife as an ever-evolving thematic structure.
