About
David McBurney is an artist of Irish-Vietnamese descent who was born in New Zealand and now lives in Naarm/Melbourne. He holds a Master of Contemporary Art from the University of Melbourne and is currently completing a Fine Art PhD at Monash University.
Through intricate disassembly and reassembly of image information McBurney invites reconsideration for the representation and reality of a shared visual world. Recent work co-locates processes of commercial print production with the conventions of Zen landscape art, questioning how individual perspectives arise within the complex horizons of contemporary images.
