A WORD ON LETTERSCAPES - ARTIST STATEMENT
Evolving out of early Mesopotamia cave paintings into the visual language of Notism, Burkhardt's new contemporary American LetterScapes art is comprised of his own abstract alphabet. The graphic geometric letter forms are precise and powerful with architectural imagery and rich color blocks that spell bold, well-known "word portraits".
