Randy Burman

“Although the walls of Burman’s tunnel are pasted largely with negative images that question the integrity of human nature, the artist is kind in his approximation of our species. As a cultural critic, Burman is skeptical of progress, yet buoyantly playful. Likewise his assemblage sculptures, though literally dripping with sardonic optimism, mix color fullness, light, and thoughtfulness. Through his wildly varied oeuvre, Burman reveals, perhaps unintentionally, a consequence of the West’s largely secularized [pop] culture – a desperate search for meaning.”
