Stadtgalerie Schwaz: Jonas Burgert – Kopfschluss
At night in the studio
The Stadtgalerie Schwaz is currently showing an exclusive solo exhibit by the Berlin born artist Jonas Burgert titled “Kopfschluss”. The exhibit proves itself to be a kind of monumental-sensuous experience - Burgert usually paints his gloomy scenes on oversized canvases. It seems as if bizarre creatures had invaded his studio at night and played paintball with the most dazzling colours. In the style of grotesque history painting, Burgert creates places for protagonists as well as platforms for asynchronous incidents, for example an upper-class suite of roomes dominated by the chieftain of an ancient tribe. Instead of theory, the onlooker will find the theatricality of the unexpected and the unbalanced, visualised in the artist’s self-portraits.
