Gribba Grub
Gribba Grub is Jon’s first “proper monograph” launched in the UK at Concrete Hermit and published by Italy’s ROJO. This little book is a great introduction to Jon’s art with incite into his thinking and vision. It also has a really nice tactile quality to it, so take that all you types who say print is a dead medium!
The premise is: “Jon Burgerman is haunted by the Gribbas, they gnaw at his fragile mental state, which is a lot kinder that what the Grubs will do if they get hold of him. Descend into a world of colour and confusion brought about from 12 months of intensive drawing, traveling, idle thoughts and snacking. Photos, mashed up compositions, scrappy collages and knotted line work make up a book that is a to be considered an artwork on its own accord.”
A lot of the content of the 160-page book is exclusive to Gribba Grub. This includes doodles, paintings, photos and scribbled notes. The limited edition may still be available for about £17.95 directly from ROJO.
