Semi-final Selection (blue) by Luke Burton
Luke Burton has an ongoing interest in how symbolism operates across decorative visual culture and questions the relationship between craft, ornament and fine art in relation to taste, objecthood and materiality within painting.
These paintings elevate the humble football to an object of classical beauty. They are direct, joyous celebrations of colour, shape and form, placing footballs shoulder to shoulder with vases of flowers and the elaborate plumage of a peacock.
