Stephen Burke is an Irish artist, curator and documentarian. He holds a masters in painting from the Glasgow School of Art (2018) and was recently awarded the Gilbert Bayes Award for early-career sculptors from the Royal Society of Sculptors (2025). Stephen is the founder of the social media platform Post Vandalism which archives art practices that explore the ideas and aesthetics of graffiti. The platform fosters support from a wide international community and inspired an edition of Kunstforum International, Germany's leading journal for contemporary art. Burke also co-founded the London based curatorial collective Pigeon Park, which organises large-format exhibitions in industrial spaces. This project was created in response to the post pandemic threat posed to artists’ working conditions in the wake of the Covid crisis. Stephen has completed residencies in Prague, Berlin, and London and exhibited work in institutions like Kunstverein Hannover, Het Hem, Cromwell Place and the RHA. His work has also been exhibited in outdoor sculpture venues, including the UNESCO-listed Völklingen Ironworks.
