Lewis G. Burton

Lewis G. Burton is a multidisciplinary British artist, performer, and curator based in London, known for their provocative explorations of identity, gender, and the body within contemporary culture. Establishing themselves at the intersection of performance art and nightlife, Burton co-founded and curates the influential queer club night INFERNO, a platform celebrating radical expression and experimental performance.

Their work often challenges societal norms and the boundaries between art and audience, utilizing their own body as both subject and medium in durational pieces and staged spectacles. Burton’s practice includes installation, photography, and collaboration with other artists and designers, merging fashion, digital media, and live art to interrogate themes of queerness, vulnerability, and autonomy. Their dynamic presence has contributed significantly to London’s alternative art and queer scenes, with projects exhibited nationally and internationally, as well as being featured in prominent cultural publications.

Leveraging the power of artistic risk, Burton has cultivated a space for visibility and dialogue, affirming their role as a catalyst within contemporary performance and queer creative communities.
