For more than 25 years I have been making paintings depicting diverse cultural expressions in urban space, both in and around where I live and have my studio in Deptford, South East London, and also drawing upon extensive travels in Europe, Latin America and parts of India and North Africa.

You carve out this quiet space in your life to make paintings. I've made paintings that are much busier and livelier. But these ones are very still. They just ask you to sit in front of them
Introductory Essay by Ambreen Hameed
Spectacular inaugural exhibition of work by Trevor Burgess ... a major coup for Great Yarmouth... life-affirming, colourful, joyful and reassuring, humanist creations.
Review of the Exhibition for Norfolk Contemporary Art Society by Keith Roberts
'In one word the talk was incredible. I went with, I must admit, low expectations... These expectations were, however, blown out of the water'. Leeds Philosophical & Literary Society Annual Review 2025
Painting is a slow process through which things become visible in the process of doing it. Interview with Professor Lala Meredith-Vula, de Montford University, about my exhibition of Inverse Colour paintings in 2021.
I always paint through being grounded in the world around me, Trevor explained, yet, when I gazed upon his work, my centre of gravity was temporarily disrupted.
