They share an anomalous position in my mind as not quite \u2018Pop Art\u2019 yet vital in their Dadaistic \u2018clawing back\u2019 meaning from the excesses of Abstract Expressionist theory. Burton\u2019s words have a humanity that reaches out, as in his painting Six Questions, which ends in an expression of love for \u2026 perhaps the viewer. In Stripe Streak he plays with meaning and action ironically. The self-importance of post painterly abstraction is gently and humorously debunked.&#8221;, wrote Ashley Johnson in his article (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\">www.artoronto.ca<\/a> features).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>June 25 &#8211; Augustus 31, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CHRISTOPHER CUTTS GALLERY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An exhibition in conjunction with THIS IS PARADISE, Mocca, 2011<\/p>\n<p>Burton&#8217;s works share an anomalous position in my mind as not quite \u2018Pop Art\u2019 yet vital in their Dadaistic \u2018clawing back\u2019 meaning from the excesses of Abstract Expressionist theory. <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=1893\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1893"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2495,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions\/2495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
