Nebraka-based Jamie Burmeister is a sculptor known for his original small bronze figures, standing at just 4 inches tall. His unique figurative sculptures have been showcased in galleries, museums, and public art installations worldwide, including notable venues like the Joslyn Art Museum and the Des Moines Art Center.
Burmeister's work explores the human experience through humor and absurdity. He has recently focused on incorporating color, which he finds both challenging and inspiring.

The artist used pink acrylic paint, wood, metal, a bronze dog figure, and a bronze human figure standing on a platform to create this artwork. This one-of-a-kind sculptural mixed-media painting on wood measures a total of 24 inches tall by 18.5 inches wide by 3.25 inches deep, including the depth and width of the sculptural figures and the platform. Painted on a 24-inch tall by 18-inch wide wood panel, this artwork combines vivid color, dynamic movement, and sculptural elements to create a visually captivating and playful piece.
Two small bronze figurative sculptures thoughtfully secured to a shelf attached to the face of the panel add a unique sculptural dimension. The bronze figures create the narrative of this composition of a painter on a platform holding a bucket of paint, working to complete an intricate mural consisting of varying sizes of paint dots while their loyal dog rests nearby. These miniature figures bring a playful narrative to the artwork, interacting with the painted surface and adding a tactile, three-dimensional quality.
