Last Light explores the quiet distance between the comfort of home and the darkness beyond it. Looking through the window, a bare tree reaches into a moonlit sky while a single illuminated window glows in the distance—a small sign of life against the night.
The bright patterns and colours of the interior contrast with the stillness outside, creating a feeling that is both intimate and slightly uneasy. For me, the painting is about those solitary moments when we look out from the safety of our own world and wonder about the lives happening beyond it.
The distant light becomes a symbol of connection—small, fragile and reassuring. A reminder that even in darkness, somewhere, a light is still on.
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.
