BGUK_2608339 - Artist poses with his vibrant paintings and video installation. Sim City From The White House, the V&A and Blue Peter Jon Burgerman will unveil his dopamine art paintings and video art at OMNI gallery Following great success in the US, where his work was selected by the Obama administration for The White House, Jon Burgerman’s solo show Sim City will run at OMNI gallery until 29 March. From Tomorrow, OMNI will be transformed into Burgerman’s pop art universe complete with kaleidoscopic video installations and spray-painted murals. Installed as a visual tonic for these times, Burgerman is credited for his innovative 'doodle' art style. Placed somewhere between fine art, urban art and pop culture, the lively and animated works burst with colour, humour and playfulness. In addition to his paintings on display, visitors will also be able to immerse themselves in a darkened video art room with flashing screenings of his work and listen to music composed by his brother, TodayIDance, whose music is the eccentric musical equivalent of Jon Burgerman’s work. Burgerman’s work is currently in public collections at The Science Museum, Tate Modern, Victoria & Albert Museum as well as The White House, for which he received a personal thank you from Joe Biden, then the Vice President. The use of humor in his works references and questions the contemporary society and treads the line between fine and urban art and pop culture. His zeitgeist vision has seen him collaborate with brands including Sesame Street, Apple, Levi’s, Samsung, Pepsi, Snapchat, Instagram and Nike. Meanwhile, Burgerman’s wacky series of online gifs that have been viewed over nine billion times.
