Mini Show at Cuadros Contemporary Art Gallery
I’m a wee bit late on posting news of this, but Jon recently had a mini show at Cuadros in Nottingham. They have now put the work online, and you can purchase pieces off of their website here.
Cafeteria Doodles
Somewhere in the UK, lucky students get to eat lunch in a cafeteria adorned with GREEN doodles by Jon. Be cool. Stay in school.
Jon Burgerman Joins the Renmen Project
Jon has joined the Renmen Project! Per their blog:
He’s very kindly filled up a book of blank postcards with a stack of hand-drawn one-off doodles, which we will be selling in our shop in the not-too-distant future.
Renmen’ is the Haitian word for Love, the bird in the logo is the Hispaniolan Trogon, the national bird of Haiti. ‘The Renmen Project‘ has been brought together by the team at Thunder Chunky and Ben The Illustrator in order to raise funds for UNICEF’s Haiti Appeal. Throughout 2010, they will be working with a selection of top artists and designers from around the world to create artwork to sell online. Every penny made from art sales will be going to UNICEF’s Haiti Earthquake Children’s Appeal.
Posca-based Coup d’états
A pair of original hand-drawn, signed, framed and mounted works has made its way onto Burgerplex. At left we have, Coup De Vile and at right we have In The Coup. Each measures 52 x 68.5 cm / 20.5 x 27″ and was made with Posca pen and pencil crayon on archival paper. They are selling for £450 or ~ $700.
Lossy Botany Lab: The Doodles (and More)
Above you see our heroes: the evening’s artist, Jon, flanked by Jeps and Evelien (of Darker and the Dutch Doodlesplatter posse) who made the trek from The Netherlands to the Lossy Botany Lab show at Hamburg’s heliumcowboy artspace. As with most of Jon’s shows, there is a ton of work, so here’s just a glimpse at some of the doodles (many of which were plant-based matter-themed) captured for us by J & E. Stay tuned (or look back) for a plethora of posts [click here for current tag archive], each concerning a separate element of the installation and exhibit. Click through for a gallery of images and price list from the event. Thanks to Jeps and Evelien for all the great visuals!
Lossy Botany Lab Sneak Peeks Part 3: Getting Sketchy
Jon always fills a sketchbook in prep for a show or a painting. Here, he’s shared with Doodlesplatter some of his preliminary sketches for The Lossy Botany Lab at heliumcowboy artspace in Hamburg. Throughout today, you’ll see more of how these doodles were fleshed out. The show opens in ONE DAY on July 1st! Jeps will be representing and picture-taking on behalf of the Dutch posse! In the meantime, you can see a tag archive of all previews and sneaks here.
Jet Set Bedwetter
We all know that Jon is a well-traveled doodler, but there’s no reason to believe that this piece is autobiographical! Jeps dug up this artifact from 2006 at Cadence Designs.
Penned in black and orange, in typical Burgerman fashion and framed behind non-reflective glass in a white painted frame, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an excellent plain paper medium sketch by this much sought after artist.
The piece has a visible width of approximately 34cm. and a visible height of approximately 24cm. It is being offered at £500 here.
Jon Burgerman Likes Cats
Jon Burgerman digs cats. To paraphrase an old adage, the proof is in the kibbles. Of his latest poster, he writes:
Do you like cats? What is your favourite cat? Here are my favourite cats, the ones I’ve met over the years and have left a lasting impression on me.
Via Jon’s Flickr, I’ve collected a few of his feline friends (see below), mostly those he encountered during his Brooklyn residency last summer. You can see some more cat action in this My American Summer montage video. You can get the Cats poster over at Burgerplex. It’s a “massive format portrait size 70×100 cm / 27.6×39.6″ high quality print on 230gsm uncoated art paper sent rolled in a a strong card tube for $21.56 USD. Click through for some cute overload.
Brain Drain Begins!
If you’re reading this, you’re probably not at the The Winchester Discovery Centre, where Jon’s latest solo show, Brain Drain, is currently commencing. Not wanting his overseas friends to be left out of the fun, Jon sent over some snaps of the almost-complete show. You can view the finished product live at the Winchester or over at his site here. Brain Drain looks great, and it’s full of new mixed media, muradoodles and collaborative work. The show runs through July 11th. If you’re in the area, Jon will be there for a talk on May 26th. RSVP for the 5/26 chat here.
Art From Back From Black
Jon just sent over some snaps from the Italian Urban Superstar 2010 Back from Black expo. I also snagged a few shots by Cristina Cusani from the Urban Superstars blog. Contact the gallery for availability of the work.
