Elizabeth Burnim’s paintings investigate the intersection of structure and atmosphere through layered oil surfaces shaped by rhythm and restraint. In dialogue with Vivaldi’s and Boucher’s Four Seasons, the contemporary Rococo of Flora Yukhnovich, and Rainer Maria Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus, her work balances control and dissolution.
Drawing on the light of Greece and the expanses of the American West, she engages proportion, gesture, and interval as fields of both memory and presence.
