Bursack, Abbey

Abbey Bursack is a contemporary still-life painter based in London and Hertfordshire. Her work combines traditional oil-painting techniques with pop-culture imagery.

With books and classic Hollywood cinema being beloved influences, as well as a long and happy career as a scenic artist for theater, her work often incorporates hand-painted and carefully considered wording in quotation marks, bringing life to these inanimate objects in profound and emotive ways. Abbey plays with depth of field, dramatic perspective and chiaroscuro, giving her work a slightly surreal quality, and creating a distinctive style that aims to bring a new lease of life to the genre of still-life painting.
