Jonas Burgert “schlagen und bleiben” Schlagen und bleiben is the first exhibition to focus solely on Jonas Burgert’s drawing as an independent body of work. While the artist is best known for intensely coloured, large-scale painting, this intimate exhibition focuses solely on intricate drawing on paper, each subtly rendered in pencil. Densely populated tableaux are how Burgert explores non-linear storytelling. Often created at the same time as these expansive pictorial dramas, the subjects of his individual portraits are exiles from the main story, isolated within their own frame. This exhibition explore Burgert’s portraits as entities in their own right. Untethered from a central narrative, they become newly enigmatic, each alluding to its own particular mysteries.
