MICHAEL BOURKE

MICHAEL is one of our favourites at Gang Gang Gallery, with his quirky and comical approach to his chosen subjects we are sure he’ll be one of yours too.
We are thrilled to have his work on display at the Lithgow Transformation Hub
Michael Bourke was born in Sydney in 1971. For a while, he toyed with the idea of becoming a world-famous rock and roll star or a postman. With no musical talent and a tendency to fall off his bike, Michael was forced to stay at school for a very long time.
After thirty years of marsupial-free living, Michael moved to Mudgee and immediately made friends with a number of kangaroos. When not majestically bounding through the swaying grass, Michael attempts to reimagine the world on small rectangles of canvas.
“There is an enormous chasm between the hope that is required for living, and the inevitability of sadness and loss. I would love to paint all over that space, but I can’t. So instead, I just paint on these little canvas oblongs. It seems to help.”
