Oh Herbst Du
2007
A riotous triptych bursting with raw, visceral energy, Jonathan Meese layers oil paint, photographic imagery, collaged paper and card, and waxy scrawled marks into a densely packed, mythological fever dream. Found objects protrude from the canvas surface, collapsing the boundary between painting and sculpture, while the artist's hand-made frame further asserts the work's status as a total, all-consuming environment. Meese's characteristic fusion of art-historical references, personal iconography, and ecstatic gesture conjures an ode to autumn as a season of transformation, decay, and anarchic creative force.
