Robert Burke - Artist Painter

Canadian Metis Artist

I am 73 years old and have practiced art full time since my graduation from Victoria College of Art in 2000.

I was born in Fortsmith NWT. My mother native and my Father an American soldier stationed in the North during the 1940's.

I spent my early years in residential school in Fort Resolution NWT.

In my youth I worked in the sign industry eventually going west and became a West Coast Logger and heavy duty mechanic.
My Work.
I follow an aboriginal format with my work. I use images with bright colors
, animals, masks and human figures are representative of the work I do.

 
My style of painting is hard edged with solid colors and no blending of paint. Most of my work is of a social or political nature.

I have a strong desire to bring aboriginal interpretation on social issues into my work
