At The Venue we are constantly on the look out for new and engaging artists and their art. From our first exposure to the wire mesh sculptures of Bonnie Shanas, we knew we had found something very special.
Bonnie studied sculpture primarily in Israel, before returning to the US and her home in Cherry Hill, NJ. In her artist statement for The Venue Bonnie has written:
“As a student of psychology and an enthusiast of human nature, I have always been intrigued by underlying allusions and the universal body language. The genuine truth expressed through the subtlety of the unspoken gesture is my inspiration for sculpture of the human form. Through these images emerging from a cloth of wire, I hope to capture and share these intimate yet universal expressions. The unimposing transparency of the material intended to offer a moment or a memory, which each observer can make his /her own. ”
