Jonas Burgert's First Italian Solo Exhibition at MAMbo Bologna
Jonas Burgert's first Italian solo exhibition, 'Scandagliodipendenza', opened at MAMbo in Bologna in February 2017. The show features a large ink-on-paper installation and monumental oil paintings, including 'Luft nach Schlag' (4x7 meters), populated by monkeys, zebras, skeletons, androids, and masked children in arcane rituals. Curated by Laura Carlini Fanfogna, with decisive collaboration from BlainSouthern gallery, the exhibition explores human existence through fantastic and unsettling characters. Burgert's works evoke ancestral fears without explicit violence, using organic colors and symbolic imagery. The show includes smaller portraits and timeless female figures, presenting the artist's research in its totality.
