Jonas Burgert
The creatures of painter and sculptor Jonas Burgert (born in 1969) cavort in the midst of fantastic plays of colour and merciless rounds. In the masterfully composed, large-scale paintings of the Berlin artist, big-city scenes meet gaunt figures that could just as easily have sprung from Christian or East Asian myths. Burgert uses neon colours to bring these sometimes nightmarish, sometimes fairytale-like beings into the present. The individual disappears in the midst of an alienating ritual.
