LOUISE BONNET

BORN 1970, Geneva, Switzerland
LIVES&WORKS Los Angeles, USA

Drawing plentifully from the history of the most communicationally-inclined forms of visual art, Bonnet’s monstrously exaggerated anatomies are a political cartoon-meet-Salvador Dalí that tosses the viewer into an uneasy world of (mirroring?) deformity, blindness, and desolation. The artist freezes ugliness behind a one-way screen: our eyes can access it, but those eyeless figures cannot access us.
