Shadrach Burton is from the scenic community of Wotten Waven and has been producing art since 1994. Although he comes from an artistic family with his father, David Burton and older brother, Gharan both being artists, Shadrach was mentored by Ellingsworth Moses and Earl Etienne while he attended high school. After completing his Master's Degree in Fine Art in Hangzhou, China, he decided to return to Dominica after 8 years absent. In 2015 Burton participated in "Art warning the world” representing Dominica which is a collaborative artwork featuring one artist from every country on the planet. The video which advocates protection of freedom of expression on a global scale has amassed over 11 million views. Shadrach currently uses a signature painting style called a "Liquid Fingerprint” and is referred to as one of the newest faces of abstract realism on the Caribbean art scene. |
