Colour Play is an exhibition of new paintings by Stu Burke alongside a new, interactive work in which the audience is invited to create a sculptural structure, from shapes informed by Burke’s paintings, which is designed to fall once let go, it will be captured by photograph to create a ‘momentary sculpture’, the moment of collapse, creating new and exciting forms. The audience can then send the images through, to be included in a publication of these works.

Stu Burke is an artist, curator and co-director of GLOAM Gallery (Sheffield, UK) whose curatorial and artistic interests lie within expanded painting, non-objective art, mark-making, exploring the porous boundaries of painting, sculpture and performance by playfully creating works that inhabit the in between, or exist simultaneously within multiple disciplines.

Burke graduated with a first-class BA(Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Lincoln in 2013, and an MA in Fine Art from Teesside University in 2016, he is currently studying for a practice-led PhD in Art at Leeds Beckett University, investigating ‘play’ as an artistic and curatorial methodology.
