The Author

Peter Bonner arrived in the U.S. in 1998 to study with peers of Pollock and de Kooning and other members of the New York School, and was later drawn to the Aboriginal artists of his native Australia. Reckoning with these opposing influences through the practice of drawing — a preoccupation lasting more than a decade — he developed an artistic process and vocabulary that has been the foundation of his work since. Bonner, who lives and works in New York City, has exhibited in the U.S., Europe and Australia.
