In 2009 I got to see the work of German artist Jonas Burgert at the Haunch of Venison. The paintings are on a giant scale and depict a fictitious wonderland of figurative apparitions. The pale background hues are juxtaposed with figures clad in near fluorescent materials in all sorts of patterns and arrangements.
These paintings are a re-vitalisation in my eyes for painting in the 21st Century. Large scale works derived from postcards and collected material depicts a dramatic view of the world in destruction and decay.
