Meaning doesn´t exist; at best it sets in.
F.Burkhard´s drawings deal with the issue relating to the connection between language and pictures, or rather between symbols and what´s symbolised. The actual traditional Gouachen, the Indian ink- and pencil drawings, become interesting in that moment when added on word meanings turn the object into the symbol. This is because sayings alone aren´t symbols and the mark of an object is not always a clarification of what´s meant but is just as often confusing.
Franz Burkhard´s work arises in the field where the connection between language and symbols takes place. In that place where language becomes body so to speak. However, the semantics only work as long as the stability between words and things isn´t shaken. Burkhard takes trouble to loosen these structures and, as a result, the illusion of things and language is exposed.

One by one, they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
