Summary: | 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. "Accompanying a comprehensive solo exhibition at the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, this book features works by Berlin-based figurative painter Jonas Burgert (born 1969)--known for his large-scale fantastical paintings of surreal, near-apocalyptic scenes including new site-specific paintings, sculptures and small-format portraits." -- Distributor description
