The photogravure "Fein Sie" from the series "Ngorongoro II" shows a densely crowded web of heads, bodies, and cloth-wrapped, cocoon-like figures. Out of the tangle, a youthful face gazes directly at the viewer, while bandaged bodies and bare torsos around it condense into an enigmatic, almost ritual scene. In fine tonal modeling, Jonas Burgert carries the existential atmosphere of his paintings into printmaking.
About the Artist Jonas Burgert
The monumental paintings of Jonas Burgert (b. 1969 in Berlin) unfold scenes in which the grotesque, the dreamlike and the existential converge. Luminous colours laid over a dusky grey are populated by archaic figures, symbols and signs. His sometimes vast tableaux cannot be taken in at a single glance; they demand close and repeated looking. Burgert studied at the Universität der Künste in Berlin as a master student of Dieter Hacker and still works today in a sprawling studio in Berlin-Weißensee. Since his breakthrough in the mid-2000s he has counted among the most sought-after figurative painters of his generation internationally.
