Erik Burke (b. 1978) lives in Reno, NV and creates place-specific murals throughout the world. His latest work can be seen in Eastern Ukraine, S. Korea, Italy, and closer to home in Reno. His work has been published in the book 'Street Art; The Best Urban Art from Around the World', The Huffington Post, and the NYTimes.
His murals are highly informed by variation of place and he uses this pairing as an admission to transcend tourism, explore citizenship, and most importantly, engage the community. By beginning a dialogue with people and places Burke hopes to pass authorship of his work on to the community and be a catalyst for civic pride.
