Early life
Burgess was born and raised in London, England. He is the son of actor John Burgess and Lana Burgess.[ 10] Burgess originally studied Politics at the University of Leeds , and interned for Labour Party member Jack Straw ,[ 11] but in the last year of his studies he took night drawing classes at Jacob Kramer College .[ 12] Burgess subsequently studied Fine Art at the Byam Shaw School of Art , London[ 13]
Work
Burgess cites artists including Piet Mondrian , Stuart Davis , Richard Diebenkorn , David Hockney , Kurt Schwitters , and Edward Hopper as influences.[ 1] [ 5] [ 14] The paintings Burgess made in London typically depicted city scenes.[ 15]
Burgess moved from London to Tucson, Arizona, in 2009, where his brother lived.[ 12] Burgess then started to focus more on painting mid-century Modern architecture .[ 12] Buildings by architects Pierre Koenig , William Krisel , and Donald Wexler have been the subject of Burgess's art.[ 16] Burgess has stated that he is not interested in photorealism.[ 13]
In 2016, Burgess was invited to collaborate with printmakers from the Tandem Press, Madison, Wisconsin .[ 8] During his residencies at Tandem, Burgess produced lithographs , collages , relief prints , and etchings .[ 12] In 2021, Burgess began work on a series of artworks for the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital , London[ 17] [ 18] as a part of the Arts in Health program[ 19] run by CW+ .[ 20]
Collages
In his collages, he uses vintage ephemera, including 1930s to 1940s matchbooks ,[ 3] ticket stubs, and advertising,[ 11] many featuring midcentury typography.[ 13] The collages often represent city skylines. His collages are inspired by Kurt Schwitters , Sonia Delaunay , and Russian constructivism .[ 11] In March 2018, Burgess presented cubist collages at the Etherton Gallery in Tucson.[ 14]
