Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Renowned for his anarchic installations, performances and paintings, Jonathan Meese’s work is, by his own account, a reaction to the ‘dictatorship of art’ - focusing on themes of identity, power and revolution, Meese often portrays his own likeness and explains “I exhume to consume”.

« Love, lusciousness, birth and fertility are precise tools of art,
like laws. »
Jonathan Meese

Many of Meese’s exhibitions are of a multi-media nature;

« Art is about necessity, not about human will. Society is more and more brainwashed and mistakes itself for art. »
Jonathan Meese

HOT EARL GREEN SAUSAGE TEA BARBIE (FIRST FLUSH) is one of his most acclaimed exhibitions and features a chaotic blend of paintings and prints, grotesque and hellish depictions of human figures cast in bronze, magazine photo collages and large-scale installations that result in an overwhelming socio-political commentary.

What is Performance Art?

Performance presented within the context of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary. It may be scripted or unscripted, random or orchestrated carefully; spontaneous or may carefully be planned without the participation of the audience. Performance can be through the media or live and the artist performing can either be present or not. The situation can involve the four basic elements: space, performer's body/his presence through a medium, time and performer-audience relationship. Artwork constitutes actions of a group or an individual at a particular time and space.
