Burt Payne juxtaposes layers of meaning and materials to derive humor from the detritus of a harsh, often unforgiving world.  Humor often dominates the outward appearance of things in his work, while a macabre quirkiness is evident at the level of unconscious apprehension. The meaning of life is often called into question in the most saccharine way.

Payne has shown his work extensively in California and beyond at Track 16 in Santa Monica, Push Art Space in San Francisco and Bemis Foundation in Omaha, Nebraska.  He was also selected as an artist-in-residence at the Villa Saint Clair in Sete, France.
