Burges's reverse glass paintings

Seeing German artist Michael Burges's reverse glass paintings is like watching the everdrifting clouds through a window.  The plexiglass behind which Burges applied his vivid colours is the magical window pane.  I first saw Burges's reverse glass paintings at Toronto's Lausberg Contemporary in 2007.  His second solo exhibition currently showing is long overdue - I have been waiting for it for three and a half years.
