Through the use of old street posters, strong placed lines and strokes with paint or marker, Burger creates art that is playful, full of energy and vibrant. Combining colourful, urban, graphic forms with natural imagery results in modern, fresh and iconic works of art. Robin Burger finished his bachelor’s degree at the prestigious Design Academy in Eindhoven and started his career as an independent designer back in 2007. Throughout the years, Burger’s focus crossfaded from graphic design towards more artistic expression. For the last several years, he has fully committed to his passion of making art. In 2018/2019 Burger created the "Tout est magnefique" series. These works were the result of his efforts to ascend emotion and thought. It has everything to do with the love of creating and trying to tap into the pure creative nature of everything. Everything is beautiful. From these series, Burger’s almost philosophical search continued and flowed naturally into his latest works; the 2020 series. The 2020 series were inspired by the following quote by Oscar Wilde: “All art is quite useless, so is a flower”. Burger explains: “This used to sound so bleak and depressing to me, but I discovered it to be the most beautiful quote that puts art up on the same pedestal as love and life itself. It’s a celebration of the act of creating itself. Making this series has felt as a personal victory, being able to fully commit to creating without limiting myself in the process.” In his paintings, Burger combines an wide variety of materials. His works are typically a mix of ‘sourced’ materials such as old event-posters taken from the streets, his own computer-designed focal points, and strong placed brush strokes of acrylic paints. You can see the influences of his graphic designer past in the incorporation of logo’s, graphic elements and blatant usage of stock imagery. This approach leads to a bold, playfull, and colourful imagery world which seamlessly connects to our modern, urban surroundings. Giving energy and expression to your living spaces.
