WEST PALM BEACH, FL
Anthony Burks is one of the most unique conceptual artists in America. However, his impact on the art world is equally immense and all encompassing. He wears many hats, including master artist, curator, and arts influencer. Additionally, his work has helped change the landscape of South Florida, through the planning, creation, and execution of innovative arts programming in a city not well recognized for its artistic offerings.
Noting the lack of exhibition opportunities for minorities, Anthony co-created ‘Diaspora’, a show focused on the beauty and culture of black and brown people representing the African and Afro-Caribbean descendants of the Diaspora.
He an excellent draftsman with a discriminating eye for extreme detail. His works draw on vibrant colors, jewel-tones, and powerful figures that stand-alone void of frivolous and unnecessary backgrounds. Whether depicting birds, animals, or people, he is able to convey the intertwining of their beauty and their strength.
