Jon Burgerman

Jon Burgerman is a New York-based British artist whose works have been acquired by prestigious public collections such as London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and the OÖ-Kultur Museum in Linz, Austria. His highly distinctive fuzzy-edged characters epitomise the paradoxes of contemporary life. Their seemingly simple googly eyes betray a range of emotional complexities and anxieties, with comically distressed expressions and collapsing forms. Jon also works commercially for international brands and media including ZEIT Magazin, Crocs, Casetify or Pop Mart, conceives large scale installations for luxury malls in Asia and has collaborated with Greenpeace, Linkin Park or Sesame Street. In recent years he has exhibited at WOAW Gallery (Hong Kong), Chengdu Times Art Museum (China), MISA Art fair Berlin and Cologne, Ojiri Gallery (London), L21 Gallery (Spain), Dopeness Art Lab (Taipei) and Jane Lombard Gallery (New York).
