The gallery is proud to present an exhibition of new work by the French artist Abel Burger (b. 1982).
This will be the artist's first show with Brigade since joining the gallery's program in 2022 and the artist's first-ever solo exhibition in Scandinavia. Titled 'Appaloosa', the exhibition will feature new works emerging from the artist's deep engagement with ancient civilisations, mythology and traditions of storytelling.
Abel Burger (b. 1982, France) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice ranges from oil pastel and drawing to video works and written essays. Strongly influenced by the artistic movements of the 1990s, Burger was a central member of the Parisian underground scene, authoring texts on gender and identity, and developing series of video works. Burger's interdisciplinary practice has since expanded to new formats, including highly detailed oil pastels on paper and balsa wood. These works explore concepts of individual mythologies in which ancient memories, energies, and beliefs come together to create a new system of images, narratives, and emotions which the artist terms 'archaeologies of the future'.
Burger's work has been exhibited in numerous solo shows across Europe and the US, including Musée d'Art Moderne, Collioure (2021), Baull Gallery, Berlin (2020), as well as group shows at Wondering People, London (2022) and Mason Fine Arts, Atlanta, USA (2021). Burger lives and works in Port-Vendres, France.
The opening reception will be held Thursday, 16 November from 5.30 - 9 PM. We look forward to seeing you.
