A History of Violence Painting

Martin Burri's composition titled "A History of Violence" stands as a testament to his fusion of styles and mediums within his artistic repertoire. Embracing the abstract expressionist style, Burri employs bold brushstrokes, vivid hues, and unconventional forms to evoke emotions, prioritizing mood over meticulous realism. Additionally, he integrates mixed media abstraction, utilizing paper, fabric, and wood to infuse layers and textures, employing light gray and red tones that add depth to the canvas. One of the painting's striking features is its pronounced impasto texture, achieved by generous paint application, lending a tangible three-dimensional quality. Moreover, Burri artfully juxtaposes dried flowers and organic elements, creating a compelling interplay between the natural and the artificial within the artwork. Burri draws inspiration from Vija Celmins, a celebrated Latvian-American artist recognized for her portrayal of natural phenomena using diverse mediums, including photography and materials such as graphite, charcoal, oil paint, and resin. Celmins explored the interplay between representation and reality, memory, and perception in her art. Furthermore, Burri's creative influences extend to abstract expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko. Their works often reflected societal and political themes prevalent in their era, encompassing issues like war, consumerism, globalization, and environmental concerns.
