《她抓到了》 布面油画 | Sie fing, Oil on canvas, 90 x 80 cm, 2019 乔纳斯 · 伯格特探究了当代⽣活，他的创作充满了晦涩难懂的角色，并通过画作展示他对人类生存的看法。如艺术家所说：「对我而言，展示表面的东西并不有趣，真正有趣的是展示其背后的东西，也就是潜台词。我尝试看身边的人背后是什么，表面后隐藏了些什么……绘画是⼀种视觉媒介；我如何视觉上直观地展示隐藏的内容？也许是⼀件非常小的事情 —— 有时我会留下细微的线索，有时我会使它看起来非常戏剧化。我很好奇幕后的秘密，不仅仅是那些坏的，还有好的。」 
《抢劫》 布面油画 | Raub, Oil on canvas, 120 x 110 cm, 2019 伯格特擅于使用具有视觉冲击力的大型画布，表现宏大的史诗型叙述；对个别主体亦能进行尤如置于显微镜下的深入分析，并以小型画作带出人物的神秘气质。伯格特在多联屏中展示了一系列的事件和人物，这样的视觉集合能使我们用它来定位自己。他的画作展示了穿着奇特服装、彩绘面孔的人物形象和无以名状的物体。伯格特尝试打破当代社会中熟知的概念，作品中怪诞的身影和构图，以不同的视觉语言方式与我们对话。 《长声》布面油画（三联） | ein Klang lang, Oil on canvas, 220 x 600 cm (triptych), 2019我们作为观众思考伯格特画作的叙事性的同时，亦花时间破译物体、图形和背景的含义，往往难以界定画作中什么是无⽣命的，什么是活着的。伯格特的作品中隐藏着黑暗，提醒观众生与死之间的危险互动。伯格特的绘画参考了文艺复兴时期和荷兰画大师耶罗尼米斯・博斯 (Hieronymous Bosch)。艺术家使用鲜艳的颜色和怪诞的人物突出了记忆和想象之间的平衡。 《长声》局部 | ein Klang lang (detail)《长声》局部 | ein Klang lang (detail)此次展出的大型作品《长声》展示了混杂房间内的一群人，他们身穿鲜艳霓虹色衣物。复杂的信息让我们立即陷入了语境超载的体验。右方奇怪的橙色植被及左方艳丽的女性同样引起我们的注意，她身穿一条紫色长裙，飘逸著柔滑的白色丝带，胸部和帽子的彩色几何图案代表了伯格特画作中经常出现的神话和神秘元素。这幅画感觉向我们揭示了一个拥有多元文化和时间性的新世界。《同样》布面油画 | sich Gleiche, Oil on canvas, 240 x 180 cm, 2019乔纳斯·伯格特1969年出生于德国柏林。他于1996年毕业于德国柏林美术学院，并师从Dieter Hacker教授，攻读硕士(Meisterschueler)学位。他每次提笔都会描绘出一个舞台：一笔一布景。伯格特的作品上演了无止境的戏剧，演出他认为人类存在的意义：理解自身的人生目标。这是一个似乎尚无定论的追求，但它打开了推理、想象和欲望等多个领域的大门。巨大的画布上挤满了不同比例的幻想人物。乔纳斯 · 伯格特 Jonas Burgert, credit：Lepkowski Studios自1998年开始，伯格特的作品以参加群展的形式登上世界舞台，包括2003年在德国汉堡艺术馆举办 《Geschichtenerzaehler》以及2006年在伦敦萨奇画廊举办的展览《Triumph of Painting Part VI》。同年，他开始在世界各地的画廊及美术馆举办个人展览，包括在2017年德国柏林的布莱恩南方画廊举办《ZEITLAICH》；2013年德国汉诺威凯斯特纳美术馆的《Schutt und Futter》；2010至2011年德国图宾根艺术馆举办的《Jonas Burgert: Lebendversuch》；2009年于伦敦Haunch of Venison画廊的《Jonas Burgert: Hitting every head》和2008年在美国丹佛大学美术馆的Victoria H.

Burgert’s first solo show in Asia, introduces new paintings constructing other dimensions and filled with obscure characters. Burgert examines contemporary life and illustrates his vision of human existence. According to the artist, “For me it is not interesting to show what is there, for me it is interesting to show what is also there. The subtext. I try to see what is behind the people around me, what is behind the surface. Painting is a visual media: how can I visually show what is behind the surface? Maybe it is a very little thing - sometimes I leave tiny clues, sometimes I make it look very dramatic. It is interesting for me to see what is behind the scene, and not only the bad things, also the good things.”
《说谎》布面油画 | würde lügen, Oil on canvas, 160 x 140cm, 2018 Burgert uses omniscient view to present a grand narrative on his large canvases, while his small canvases offer a microscopic view of the individual subjects, under his meticulously examination and mysterious portraying. Burgert has the ability to introduce us to a visual collection of events and individuals, allowing us to identify ourselves with it. His paintings show human figures dressed in odd costumes, painted faces, and obscure objects. What is inanimate and what is alive is often unclear. Darkness looms in Burgert’s works, reminding the viewer of the dangerous interaction with life and death. There are apparent references to the Renaissance and the Flemish masters such as Hieronymus Bosch in Burgert’s paintings. The use of luminous colours and grotesque figures highlights the balance between memory and imagination. Burgert creates a wide range of works with in-depth analysis, culminating in the exhibition Ein Klang Lang.
《Luft schleift leicht》布面油画| Luft schleift leicht, 400 x 280cm, Oil on canvas, 2018 Jonas Burgert was born in Berlin in 1969. He paints a stage every time that he lifts his brush: with every stroke, with every composition. His works depict the inexhaustible theatre play that Burgert considers to be human existence: man’s need to make sense of his purpose in life. It is a quest that seems inconclusive, but which opens doors to every sphere of reasoning, imagination and desire. Oversized canvases are crowded with fantastical figures of different proportions. Jonas Burgert graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Berlin, in 1996 and consecutively studied for a postgraduate title (Meisterschueler) under Professor Dieter Hacker in Berlin.
