François
Burland (b. 1958)
Burland was
born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1958. He had a hard time in school,
where he spent most of his time drawing secretly. After a difficult
childhood, he entered psychotherapy as a young adult, and soon after
he began to paint.
Burlands art is instinctive and spontaneous, like a contemporary
version of archaic nomadic expression. Similar to many artists of his
generation, Burland is inspired by mythological legends; mixing antique
sources with modern literature and ethnology. There are many references
in his art to the holy grail, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the myth of
Perseus, Celtic mythology, as well as Indian and aboriginal cultures.
He is fascinated by the rituals and mysticism of primitive man, wartime
civilizations, nomadic peoples and the discovery of Tuareg in the Sahara.
Burlands artwork is in numerous significant private and public
collections around the world, including the Museum de Stadshof (The
Netherlands), the Musée de Lart Brut (Lausanne), the Du
Mont Kunsthalle (Cologne), the Rosa Eastmann Gallery (New York) and
the Los Angeles County Museum (California).
