MERRY MEET ! Bonny Hut's art explores various aspects of the human paradigm, the essential reality and unreality of the stories of life, beauty and corruption. Her work reflects infinite influences, as diverse as a drop of rain, the sound of a blade of grass in the wind, feelings derived by her sisters cooking, (Bonny does not cook too well) twisted drain pipes or twisted trees, the human soul, love, injustice, cat paws scratching windows and UFO sightings. Bonny occasionally paints her familiars (shown below), who, in turn, help her to do her art work. Moses has recently suggested, though a series of creative and elaborate poses, (conducted in unusual but specific locations) that she should paint a realistic series of extraterrestrial portraits... BONNY'S
ART ASSISTANTS:
Bonny was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and grew up in Durban where she obtained a National Diploma in Fine art from the Durban University of Technology and a Cert 4 in Graphic Design from Durban Central Technical College. Her Fine Arts education included an interesting time in South Africa's history. During Bonny's first year studying Fine Art, Durban Uni Tech was 95% white (with very few Indians and Asians) as it had been, more or less, since it opened in 1907. Four years later during her final year at of art the Uni Tech, it was almost 70% black and we had our first Black president, Mandela. She has lived Melbourne, Australia, since 2000 where she ran the Alchemy School of Art for 10 years and has taught over a thousand people to paint and draw. She still teaches art occasionally. Information regarding art courses held by Bonny Hut is available here: www.ArtClassesMelbourne.com.au She was also the director at the Esoteric Gallery for 5 years where she curated many art exhibitions and organised many collaborative art projects, events, conferences, workshops and community projects. Bonny has had 12 solo exhibitions and 15 group exhibitions since 1996. She also occasionally works on art related film and television projects. She has produced and edited two TV series called "Inside Imaginary Realism" showcasing interviews with artists who live in Australia which was broadcast in 2015 & 2016 on a local Australian Television network. (Link below.) She is also working on other collaborative film and television projects with VANA (Visionary Art Network Australia.) Bonny also used to work full time as a web site designer for two Melbourne newspapers and is the creator of the VANA site. In her spare time she likes to write poetry and do research on human rights issues, ufology, quantum physics, various aspects of the system, the paranormal and help out where she can, to make this world a better place, especially for those groups who are disadvantaged or being discriminated against. Bonny likes to engage the viewer by leaving them with a clue to the infinite possibilities of thought and ideas found outside the box of our cultural narratives and programming. Blessed be ! |
