An abstract figurative work exploring themes of mindfulness and carpe Diem. Painted with several layers, this work has a tactile quality and incredible texture. Incorporating collage and text, this painting uses mixed media to really bring the viewer into the artist’s train of thought and would make a wonderful conversation piece.
Artist Bio: Shane Bonsujet is a visual artist based and working out of his studio in Melbourne. Shanes art often draws on lived experiences and memories that explore themes of psychology, growth, empowerment and discovery forming a deep connection with viewers. Emotive, expressive, intuitive and playful, Shane's paintings are inspired by many influences such as the natural world, existentialism and philosophy that create a balance and duality between depth in concept and naïve appearance. Bold colours and expressive brushwork create an open dancefloor for curious mark making, patterns, naïve characters, symbols and motifs that balance abstraction and various other styles and references. Shanes paintings are held in public and private collections all over the country and internationally, and has been a finalist in various notable art prizes such as the Blacktown art prize, Fishers Ghost art prize, Hawkesbury art prize, Lethbridge 10,000 and exhibited in several exhibitions, group shows and art fairs.
