Jonas Burgert: Hitting Every Head
Claudia Stockhausen
For his first exhibition with Haunch of Venison, German painter Jonas Burgert (b.1969) has developed a new body of work that continues his interest in complex and mysterious narrative-style artworks. The exhibition features medium and large-scale painting, a large-scale drawing and one sculpture.
The grotesque, the mystical and the fantastic provide the subject-matter for Burgert's art. Bold, sensuous and opulent, the atmosphere in his paintings is of a world of destruction and chaos. Working in luminous, seemingly fluorescent colours glowing amidst a backdrop of pale hues, the artist depicts an apocalyptic mood of an end time, visions of a netherworld, an unknown myth or a peculiar dream. The ritualistic, archaic actions that are taking place on the canvas seem to be chaotic and violent at first glance, but at the same time they have a strong sense of tranquillity and stillness about them.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Hitting Every Head' at Haunch of Venison London, 9 October - 7 November 2009, this book includes an interview between Jonas Burgert and Claudia Stockhausen and fully illustrates all artworks in the exhibition.

M/M (Paris):
The Agent
(Candle Edition)
Celebrated artist duo M/M (Paris) have released a limited edition of their work 'The Agent' as a hand-poured, two colour beeswax candle.
The figure 'The Agent', is a recurring image in many of M/M's works and has appeared in varied forms and contexts. Last seen in the form of a light box at 'Haunch of Venison/Venison of Haunch', the M/M exhibition in February 2006, 'The Agent (Candle Edition)' is a limited edition of the work. M/M's work shares many formal properties and conceptual concerns with the 'Design Art' movement which, during the past fifteen years, has become an increasingly important practice within contemporary art.
