Trevor Burgess

Stacks and Wrap-ups are a series of large canvases that emerged out of Trevor's Market Paintings. They draw on visits the artist has made to markets after hours when they were closed.
Each canvas features piled up goods, under wraps, presenting the viewer
with a sculptural form, which powerfully dominates the canvas.

The
catalyst for the paintings was an experience Trevor had in the central
market of the remote Argentinian town of San Juan. In one section of the
market were a series of piled up stacks of market goods and
paraphernalia that evoked a warehouse art installation of large-scale
sculptures. The objects were immense, bound-up and mysterious - under
wraps.

These works give a nod to art history,
minimalism, Christo and Jeanne Claude's wrapped objects, and sculptural
conventions that go back to Arte Povera, encompassing assemblage
processes and the concept of the found object.
