Paul Bonnet: Abeyance

22 Mar-4 May 2024

Overview

Paul Bonnet's haunted dreamscapes have the appearance of molten wax. The oil has been daubed and smeared onto the canvas forming stratigraphic layers. They form the depths and shallows of an imagined environment depicted long after the human has finished figuring themselves at its centre. Bonnet's scenes of overgrowth, collapse and ruin draw the viewer to consider what comes inevitably next, far off in the centuries that will follow the impending collapse of our anthropocene.
