Ernesto Burgos (b. 1979, Santa Clara, CA) lives and works in New York, NY. In 2004, he earned a BFA from the College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA followed by an MFA from New York University in 2008. Recently, Burgos’ work has been exhibited individually in galleries such as Nordenhake (Stockholm, 2024), The Sunday Painter (London, 2023), Parrasch Heijnen (Los Angeles, 2023) or AK Contemporary (Cologne, 2021)
Ernesto Burgos deals with investigating languages of abstraction through the reassembling, building materialization, combination and manipulation of different materials such as cardboard, fiberglass and resin to create his organically shaped works. The work relays the illusionary and physical space of abstraction; each form mimics the stroke in an inverse or manipulated relationship. Through this bodily process of sculptural painting, he explores the progression of change, mark making, movement and manipulation. The intention is that forms create a history of materiality both in their incorporation as well as their manipulation, a sense of visual narrative through their construction.

The piece ‘Boat song‘ (2020), Ernesto Burgos enters the Celine Art Project collection.
Over the past six years, celine has put together an art collection of more than 250 site-specific artworks – curated by Hedi Slimane – on display in its international flagship stores. The result is a total artwork, that unites space and object, a permanent collection that balances classicism and rebellion, form with space, the weight of materials with the dynamism of present-day thinking.
The collection is linked by materiality and the monumental. There is a strong emphasis on abstract paintings, sculptures, and texture – with many of the art pieces playing with plinths and resembling columns and monoliths. These works reflect the history of minimalism, brutalism, bauhaus and modernism in very contemporary ways. This art of the now, embedded with a sense of timelessness.
