Jon Burgerman’s mesmerising stand-alone figures and choirlike paintings are magnetically endearing but also confrontational.

To learn about the complexity of the issues at hand, I talked with the multifaceted artist who is also one of the exhibitors of the thematic group show titled The Cuteness Factor.
