What Remains…an art exhibition at Cre8ery gallery.
Lilian Bonin is an image-based artist who collects fragments of humanity and nature from four continents and transforms them through paintings and photographs into metaphors for the human experience.
This exhibition, What Remains…, explores what remains when nature and people leave. Tangible elements, such an abandoned building, a footprint or cemetery as well as emotional responses are addressed in this body of work.
“I respond to the world around me with a camera, a pencil and a brush. In my practice, I collect images as I interact with my surroundings and create photographs and paintings. My subject matter evolves depending on my circumstance: planting a garden, traveling, or caring for ill family members. The connections between my physical environment and my personal experiences serve as inspiration for my work. I have always been interested in memory and it’s impact on one’s everyday experience. I create art because I must; I attempt to engage the viewer by images that are multi-textured and raise questions.” – Lillian Bonin, Artist
