About The Artist

The Artist’s journey is a testament to the convergence of tradition and innovation. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century movements, the Artist infuses his creations with echoes of the past while leveraging modern technologies to amplify their impact and reach.

In his youth on St. Paul's East Side, the Artist's passion for expression was ignited, yet adulthood steered him away from creativity towards a conventional path.

After studying Philosophy and obtaining an MBA from the University of Minnesota, the Artist navigated the corporate landscape with a sense of unease, longing for the freedom to create without constraint.

Returning to his roots, the Artist transitioned to his encore career in Lowertown and founded Neo-Absurdist Art—a movement that challenges conventional norms and questions the very essence of reality. Through his art, he invites viewers to confront the absurdity of existence, and to reimagine the world through a new lens.

In reclaiming the freedom to create, Thomas Burke emerges not just as an artist, but as a beacon of inspiration for those who dare to defy the constraints of convention and chart their own path in pursuit of artistic expression.
