New York-based artist Greg Burak’s interest in art was first sparked by book covers, album art and movies and television growing up, but it wasn’t until college that he started to look deeper into art history. The artist’s work is based heavily in narrative using shapes, colour and figures to tell his stories. “Lately I’ve been in love with early Renaissance painting. The more I look at them the more exciting they become, both in terms of the logic in constructing those paintings but also how they depicted supernatural narratives,” the artist says of his inspiration. “I keep going back to Stanley Kubrick’s films as well -– they are so particular and almost hypnotic.”
