What happens when a landscape artist falls in love with a modeling
agent? He paints his new view from the end of the runway.
The painter is Montreal-born, Vancouver-based David
Burns. Through his relationship with Liz Bell, he is given an
insider view of the fashion industry, including the hustle and bustle of
New York Fashion Week, and has used the fresh-faces and leggy figures
strutting the catwalk as inspiration for oil on canvas pieces. The
large-scale works, which stand six feet high, are almost like having a
Linda Evangelista or Lara Stone in your living room, but with abstract
strokes and the occasional wry commentary offered like, Just say no to
flats on the runway.
Pieces start at $5,800 and are available through www.burnspainter.com
