Jarrett Burch is a self-taught chromatic abstractionist painter and is a member of Raleigh’s Visual Art Exchange. His work has been purchased by clients in Los Angeles, Raleigh-Durham, and New York City.
Jarrett’s paintings have been selected for group shows by such distinguished jurors as Peter Nisbet (Chief Curator, Ackland Art Museum at UNC-Chapel Hill); Anne Strauss (Associate Curator, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC); Seth Thompson (Curatorial Assistant of Modern & Contemporary Art, High Museum, Atlanta, Georgia); and Elysia Borowy-Reeder (Executive Director, Contemporary Art Museum, Raleigh).
Initially Burch’s style was positioned at an intersection of Rothko, Turner, and Frankenthaler; it has since evolved into a unique creative process based in part on intuition.
His painting can be inspired by many things: a piece of music, for example. The idea then evolves directly on canvas as work proceeds, and usually undergoes several cycles of “creation and destruction” before the artist is fully comfortable with the result.
