Red Burke   Visual Artist  

Red Burke is a native of Roscommon who spent his entire working life in the computer and electronics industry in Galway. During that time, he studied art in GMIT, part time for six years and one year full time, and completed an Honours Degree in Fine Arts. His practice involves the production of paintings based on a former Digital computer industry in Galway and the Marconi radio communication station in Clifden. As an artist, he is fascinated with the way that computer and radio components are laid out with respect to each other.  Red seeks to breathe life into a forgotten era and display it on canvas.
