Local artists are one of the key cultural components of a city, providing interesting and original visuals to galleries, events, exhibits and outdoor murals. Each year, our readers select a group of artists to recognize for their work and this year our readers picked Christopher Burk as the number one artist at the top of the list.
Burk’s work primarily focuses on cityscapes and landscapes with a unique perspective that often highlights the stillness of urban life. Many of his paintings are recognizable buildings in Columbus (and beyond), often cropped or tilted at a dutch angle that presents these places from an untraditional point of consideration.
