Jonathan Meese

GL Strand, Copenhagen

The solo show Evolution de Large (ich-tea-ohhh-saurys) consists of newly produced works, which lead to an open confrontation with art as such. The exhibition continues the vision of The Dictatorship of Art. It presents the artist's work in a broad-spectrum, however will focus primarily on Meese's work as a painter and his performative practice.


comunicato stampa

Artistically untamed, but at the same time representing intellectual ferocity, Jonathan Meese cultivates an energetic, provocative persona, which is matched only by his pictorial style. He is an artist, who views art and life as a dynamic play with symbols, identities and predicates.

Under the title ‘The Dictatorship of Art’ Jonathan Meese is advocating for art as a new power in society. Working with all materials and an expressive and spontaneous form Meese views art as unlimited.

“Jonathan Meese’s works are mad and grotesque, but also visually generous, expressing an overproduction and a willingness to challenge, amuse and confuse, which in the end will make room for reflection. At the exhibition, we will find ourselves in a state of color intoxication in various materials and expressive gestures, which allows us to savor the moment while historical characters and events are intruding.” Curator at GL STRAND, Pernille Fonnesbech.

The exhibition at GL STRAND continues the vision of ‘The Dictatorship of Art’. It presents Meese’s work in a broad- spectrum, however will focus primarily on Meese’s work as a painter and his performative practice.

Jonathan Meese was born in 1970. He lives and works in Berlin and Hamburg. Since his time at the academy in Hamburg in the early 1990s he has been among Germany’s most important contemporary artists, following in the footsteps of Georg Baselitz and Martin Kippenberger in his reinterpretation of expressionism.
