Deborah Bonar

Acrylics | Ochre
Artist Deborah Bonar has created a unique personal style, creating vibrant acrylic and ochre paintings with immense visual power and complexity. Her paintings are bold kaleidoscopes of vigorous lines and dots. Deborah's spontaneous prismatic colours dance upon the canvas, reflecting a sense of positive energy, optimism, balance and harmony. Influenced by her Gija and Yamaji heritage, her artwork demonstrates the importance of place in forming cultural identity and in capturing and fascinating our imagination.

Deborah celebrates her visual arts practice creating contemporary abstracts of Western Australia. Reclaiming country through her technique of repetitive patterns and intricate dotting, she shows a love of place and country with her application use of bright bold colours. Her artwork is inspired by the natural surrounding landscapes depicting responses of energy and feelings that tend to excite and intrigue.

Deborah's art is an emotional and intuitive response to landscape, described as 'captivating and bold'. Deborah celebrates shared heritage weaving together cultures, histories, and people. Deborah talks through her art as she reconnects with culture – country, family and history. Her work mixes traditional earthy tones against synthetic pastels and pop tones creating a dialogue that explores connection to land in modern Australia.
