Not so long ago, I wrote about the American artist Jef Bourgeau. I am forced to write about him again because he is indeed a unique and rare phenomenon. Critical, indefatigable, and constantly at war with the status quo, Bourgeau founded Detroit’s Museum of New Art two decades ago, and, much like the city itself, without any money at all.

​

Bourgeau has recently presented a new body of work which is both striking and elaborate in form and color as if at the hand of a reborn Picabia, of a sort of Synthetic Realism freshly discovered after a century of modern art, but bearing newfound gestural expression while utilizing hi-tech pixelations, making them uniquely intelligent and emotional creations well beyond any possible other.
