About

Julie Burke is a Sydney based artist whose work examines the dichotomous poetry within Australian sporting and cultural iconography and landscape- everyday symbolic imagery both venerated and abhorred for the guts, the glory, the loyalty, the affable larrikinism, the adrenalin, the exposed dirty deeds, the tyranny of gambling addiction and an impermeable discourse of masculinity.

Julie's drawing reflects this polarity by often working with the left and right hand simultaneously, whereby subject and process combine to create an immovable past tense and material history that displays itself in the explicit residue of manual labour; Drawing, play by play, hides nothing and reveals all, immediately.
