Shawn Burkard

Shawn Burkard (born 1975) is a St. Louis-based artist who works across painting, sculpture and print media. His recent color field works begin as digital colors and are transferred onto birch panels, many of them circular, a format that sets aside the traditional vertical rectangle and removes a fixed sense of orientation.

Burkard treats the sun, the sky and the color of a screen as an interchangeable trio, and sets out to bring digital color off the screen so it can be experienced as pure visual sensation. His earlier work often set text over ombre color fades; this series concentrates on color alone, arrived at through intuitive, chance-based processes informed by his study of art history.

Burkard trained as a stone sculptor and worked for many years as resident stone sculptor at the Columbia Foundation for Visual Arts. He earned a B.A. from Webster University in 2015 and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis in 2017, and has taught at Webster University.

His work has been shown at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, the Gallery of Contemporary Art at St. Louis Community College–Forest Park, G-CADD in Granite City, Illinois, and The Luminary, as well as in Kansas City and Berlin. He has been an artist in residence at G-CADD and Paul Artspace. His solo exhibitions at Bruno David Gallery include Formations (2014), Under the Sun (2024) and Body Language (2026–2027).
