Tony Burke has several works at the collection.
Tony has worked in a variety of materials – wood, steel, glass, stone, bronze and other materials.
Much of his work is based on human if not autobiographical references. Weighter is a substantial work with moving elements creating feelings of interior space, using a hinged platform or ceiling in conjunction with tiled steel floor shapes.
Not You is made from salvaged steel, shaped with hydraulic machines, making direct references to drawn shapes of ribs and spines.
Plough is a vernacular statement taken from domestic images of smoke, sitting, and transient feelings.
Shift is a powerful sculpture in bronze and steel making bold statements in simple vertical and horizontal planes in contrasting materials.
Tony Burke is an extremely versatile artist and makes works in many materials for interior and exterior situations.
He graduated from the Royal Academy Sculpture School in 1998
