"Jon Burgerman makes vibrant, neo primitive scrawls of
shapes and colour. He's pushed his monster-like characters into compositions
where cartoon-like forms are crammed on top of each until they create a
screaming mass of energy. Intensely prolific, he has pushed the character
obsession of the late 90s into a far more interesting and strong direction. Think
Walt Disney at an Incan monument on mescaline."
Francesca Gavin, author of Street Renegades and 100 New Artists
(published by Laurence King), Visual Arts Editor Dazed & Confused
Jon Burgerman has risen to be one of the prominent artists who
traverse the disciplines of contemporary art, design, illustration and
entrepreneurism. His award winning work can be seen globally from gallery and
bedroom walls to cinema and iPhone screens. A sense of British
self-deprecation, dry humour and modern-day anxiety imbues his work along with
an enthusiasm for salad.
Burgerman exhibits internationally and his work is collected
worldwide and is in the permanent collections of The Victoria and Albert Museum
and The Science Museum in London. He has received a Cannes Lions Advertising
award, two D&AD Silver award nominations and has collaborated with brands
that include: Pepsi, CocaCola, Nike, Sony, Sky, Kidrobot, Puma, Nintendo, MTV,
Levis, 55DSL, Miss Sixty, AOL, Size? and Rip Curl. He also once designed a
special sick bag for Virgin Atlantic flights.
Burgerman lives and works in New York and online.
