Anthony Burnham
Biography
Anthony Burnham critically explores how images shape and influence contemporary perception. His practice opens a dialogue between different media—painting, sculpture, photography, and video—without prioritizing one over the other.

Burnham resists categorization, moving fluidly across styles, techniques, and materials.
