Christine Burrows (1940- ) and teresa burrows (1962- )
are part of a family of professional visual artists. In the old days the art world would often identify those family artists as the elder and the younger. Most of them were men.
Freud, as many of us now know, had some rather eccentric ideas on human behaviour however his beliefs influenced generations about the psyche. Freud believed that artists were delusional beings; that his grandson Lucian Freud has become one of most prominant figurative artists in the world is a testimony to his will and vision and not that of his grandfather.
As Freud would have us believe, all women suffer penis envy and sex is underlying everything in our dreams, hopes and aspirations. And there are no accidents.Freudian slips were a window to those deep uninhibited souls, a reflection of the ID that our ego and superego are meant to keep in chains.As artists that paint in the long tradition of the nude, we have had to deal with a public's response that also misinterprets our work as sexual rather than human.
Most of the works are narratives of some kind and not without meaning. However as artists we have always appreciated that our audience brings with them their own life experiences, that influence their interpretation and response to the art. Our art may be windows but those looking in or out are seeing their own view. Welcome to the adventure.
An art form that is evocative, that seems to point to certain aspects of reality without rendering them in such a familiar guise, also has in it the potential for discovery. It permits an emphatic, subjective response. the reality it offers need not be pleasant in itself; the pleasure is derived from finding the meaning, whatever it may be, and being afforded the luxury of a temporary existence in the environment created by the artists (Nathan Knobler)
