Eon Burchman

Morning in the Vines

Creative in many forms of expression ranging from sculpture to jazz music, Eon Burchman is an diverse artist with his leafed paintings being the most accomplished of his works. Carefully applying gold or silver leaf to a specialized canvas is already an achievement in and of itself but then Eon gives the viewer a subtle and peaceful place to escape into through the application of translucent, and sometimes more opaque, layers of oil. His subject matter much of the time focuses on hummingbirds whose spiritual and majestic nature lend well  to his lofty mediums. His show, Familial Treasures, is currently taking place at Hanson Galler Fine Art in Sausalito, California. Below is an excerpt about Eon Burchman from our website, www.hansongalleryfineart.com. 

Throughout his life, Eon Burchman has surrounded himself with creativity in a family of artists and musicians. At the age of eight he picked up the guitar and began to take music as a main focus. Through High School and College Eon focused on the guitar and jazz improvisation. He also assisted his mother Carolyn Reynolds in her creative process on public art projects. These consisted of combining steel figures, fabric and various sculpture with texture mediums and painting concepts. Eon assisted Carolyn in the discovery of working with gold leaf on canvas, learning through experimentation and refinement of this process. This unique blend of medium rapidly grew in appreciation and public demand. Eon immersed himself further in technique and process and was able to partially fund his music studies, receiving a Masters in Jazz Music Studies. He eventually began to paint his own pieces working with gold leaf on canvas as a basis for his images. His work was displayed along side Carolyn at art festivals and in galleries. 

Living in Long beach CA, Eon has shown in galleries and received recognition through magazine articles and press releases. He has expressed his love and appreciation for natural landscapes and seascapes in his work on both gold and silver leaf. Even though he focuses on this multi medium, Eon continues exploring new combinations of materials and imagery to find new ways create his visions.
