About the Artist
www.eoinburke.com | United States
Born in Providence, RI and lives in New Haven, CT. Graduated with honoers at MFA in Sculpture from the Yale School of Art and a BFA in Sculpture from Philadelphia’s University of the Arts. Alongside his own studio practice, he spent several years after graduation working in architecture as an ornamental sculptor with Kent Bloomer Studio as well as working collaboratively with a good friend and sculptor Jim Dessicino. His experience in ornament and in community with his church has lead to a deep desire to connect his art practice with daily life of faith as lived out with the people around him. Eoin’s work starts with a fascination of the body. What it is, what it can become, what it can represent. His work often inevitably deals with the human condition; starting as flesh and becoming a rational and spiritual being. The form becomes an evocative thought or a deep empathy, all of which is familiar to us, and yet strange to our sensibilities. The tactility of Eoin’s sculptures reminds us of what it is to be human. The good and the bad, the beauty and the grotesque. A challenge to question who you are and who you could become.

Nace en Providence y vive en New Haven. Graduado con honores en Escultura en la Escuela de Arte de la Universidad Yale y en la Universidad de Arte de Filadelfia. Ha trabajado en arquitectura ornamental en el estudio Bloomer y ha colaborado con el escultor Jim Dessicino. Su experiencia en ornamentos y en la comunidad de su iglesia lo ha llevado a conectar su práctica con la vida en la fe compartida. Su trabajo parte de la fascinación con el cuerpo, y la condición humana, comenzado por la carne y su transformación racional y espiritual. Las formas evocan a través de la empatía todo lo que es familiar y también extraño, recordando lo que es ser humano, lo bueno y lo malo, lo bello y lo grotesco. La tactilidad de sus esculturas es un desafío acerca de aquello en lo que podemos convertirnos.
