Jon Burgerman
artist profile
Jon Burgerman is a British artist, now based in New York, famed for his doodling, drawing and scrawling. Making vibrant, neo primitive scrawls of shapes and colour, Jon Burgerman has 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, Jon Burgerman 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.
Jon Burgerman has built a strong reputation through his instantly recognizable, unique and colourful artworks of swooping, intertwining lines and hyper-emotional characters. Working across a variety of media from drawing, painting and print to animation, large scale murals and toy design, Jon Burgerman's art retains a hand-made, hand-drawn quality.
