Verified profile

In this Sack of '53, Burri's interest in the gaps that open in the frayed hemp weft is evident: stretch marks and holes are stitched up, highlighted by touches of color, patched up or even compensated with a contrasting silk insert. The symptoms of jute wear and the surfacing traces of faded writing appear as recomposed signs of an accumulation of existence, charging Burri's return to the Dadaist collage technique with drama. But, even in the comparison with the poor material of the sackcloth, the primary intent of the artist remains that of constructing an objective image, renewing the tradition of Abstractionism.
