Physical painting with aerosol and oil paint on canvas, digitized and brought to life. Joy and trepidation in equal measure at a social gathering you are not sure you want to be at. But at least, there are cupcakes! (Could that be a metaphor?!) Music by todayidance. The NFT includes additional files as a collector's premium.
Jon Burgerman’s practice focuses on creative play as a means of communication. He works intuitively, with shape, colour and expression, as if trying to solve a puzzle with no obvious solution. Eventually everything falls into place and fits in ways that are not always completely obvious to the artist himself but that, over time, give him an understanding of himself, his thoughts and his feelings. To make himself laugh and distract himself from outside pressures, his creations are amusing – especially those produced in lockdown in 2020.
For Burgerman, art is an escape, not only from the outside world but also from his inner anxieties. The bright colours offer an alternative space for his inner existence, while his strange and playful characters offer both company and an opportunity to reflect.
