Gift gegen Zeit @ BlainSouthern – Berlin

, 23 April 2012

The acidic & multi-colored style Jonas Burgert has accustomed us to just found the perfect place to be exhibited in: Der Tagesspiegel’s old press printing building and home to the Berlin version of BlainSouthern. It seems like a perfect match for Burgert’s creatures invasion right? A 2 month takeover that starts next Saturday (April 28th we mean)…

For the occasion the German artist will unveil a series of new paintings (some monumental in scale… oh yes!) alongside sculptural works.

His parallel & flashy universes will once again place the viewer in front of fantastical creatures, colorful patterns and chaotic situations to which religion tends to be a common denominator. Sacred cows, birds of prey, industrial architecture and lonely human beings that compose these beautiful storms which seem to be taken out of an apocalyptic circus aftermath.

So if by any chance you have time to pass via Berlin to whichever your destination is in the world, make sure you stop at  this southwest gallery. More info on their webpage.
