Cutenesses.

Alone in the attic ...

Jana Ritter, art scholar and freelance artist on these works:

“Gabriel Bur combines, leads his figures, playfully, lets (our perception) play – ATTENTION. Only superficially. His used colours, materials, forms appropriate a new design, create their own dimensions in the picture.

The traditional pictorial space gets a depth, which can not be explained solely from bizarre – yet familiar, colors, materials (“Teddy Bear”) or “usual” background design. If I give the art-historically cataloged Surrealism new nourishment, I search in the visualized motifs, their assemblage, the picture subverts (me). The surrealism of a Gabriel Bur comes along more calmly. In the folded hands, button eyes, sitting postures, looks; soft, pasty ....

“Spielwerk” to pause. The familiar in a new context. Redemption remains stuck in the throat.

Seemingly mundane picture objects – forefrontally “cute”, representational, nearly illustrative, a “classical” middle ground can be omitted to let stand out the colour perspectives of the background - shadow - drop shadow, core shadow - in a documentary exact snapshot.

... Still lifes of toys in large format; slowly, menacingly closer the instant of sight.”
