Jonas Burgert Limited Edition Print from his 2012 Gift gegen Zeit Portfolio

Jonas Burgert is a contemporary German artist working in darkly comic, large-scale paintings. He is best known for his use of animals and people as ornamentation, often portraying them in the midst of ritual acts such as in Second Day Nothing (2008). Burgert’s work has been compared to Hieronymous Bosch for its fantastical and tortured imagery, and his frequent use of North African motifs, which is inspired by a period when the artist lived in Egypt. This is one of the eight offset lithographic posters in colours on smooth wove from his limited edition Gift gegen Zeit portfolio from 2012. It measures 23 2/5 × 16 7/10 in | 59.5 × 42.3 cm.
