Jonas Burgert: sinn frisst

Abstract

Jonas Burgert (*1969) is one of today's most distinguished figurative painters and a breath-taking storyteller between the times. The pictorial spaces of his panoramatic and masterly executed paintings are as vivid as imagination itself and an abysmally enigmatic mirror of human life. One is thrown into the visual turmoil of their multifocal narrational layers, tossed amidst mysterious happenings, strange figures and creatures. This book, accompanying his comprehensive solo exhibition at the Arp Museum, unfolds his fascinating artistic universe, not least due to seven new monumental paintings.
