Bobbie Burgers is a Vancouver-based painter whose sweeping gestural strokes have come to define her work. In recent years, Burgers has moved away from realistic depictions of florals, pushing her paintings and works on paper towards complete abstraction. Burgers frequently experiments with different mediums. After working with collage, Burgers began applying thicker layers of paint onto her canvas works – building them up in places to create three-dimensional textural difference. She moves between oil sticks, spray paint, acrylic paint, and pastels, playing with their viscosities by watering them down or leaving them thick.
