Jonathan Meese, mixed media on canvas, 2008
Berlin-based artist Jonathan Meese creates artistic chaos both verbally and non-verbally, drawing attention with explicit symbols and word use. Multifaceted social and political problems are used as subjects, but never in a literal sense. Any form of aesthetics is reprehensible and the provocative scream is what counts in his work.
‘Dr Zighyr im Hotland’ is a monumental work in which a lot of irony is ridiculed. The artist incorporates many ideologies that this world has known, but the only true ideology for him is the power of art.
