Gerald Peters Gallery Contemporary

For More Information

Presented in remembrance following Maurice Burns’ passing in November 2025, this exhibition brings together a thoughtful selection of works honoring the life, vision, and enduring legacy of an artist whose practice remained fiercely independent and deeply personal. Together, the works reflect Burns’ singular spirit and the depth of a life artfully lived.
Remaining deliberately unclassifiable throughout his career, Maurice cultivated a practice defined by autonomy, where structure and improvisation existed in constant tension. His paintings translate a complex relationship with jazz, cultural identity, memory, and personal narrative, resulting in a body of work that is both emotionally resonant and unmistakably his own.
