Author Information

Jon Burgerman is a New York-based British artist whose works have been acquired by prestigious public collections such as London's Victoria and Albert Museum and the OO-Kultur Museum in Linz, Austria. His art has been described as bright, and intuitive, focused on the visceral energy of play as a tenet of communication (Cate McQuaid, The Boston Globe, July 2021). In recent years he has exhibited at WOAW Gallery (Hong Kong), Chengdu Times Art Museum (China), MISA Art fair Berlin and Cologne, Ojiri Gallery (London), L21 Gallery (Spain), Dopeness Art Lab (Taipei) and Jane Lombard Gallery (New York). Burgerman s highly distinctive fuzzy-edged characters epitomise the paradoxes of contemporary life. Their seemingly simple googly eyes betray a range of emotional complexities and anxieties, with comically distressed expressions and collapsing forms underlined by titles such as Xanax, Dualist, Lexapro and Chameleon (2022). Jon Burgerman lives in New York.
