Peter BondePlease Use The Other Door28.04. - 23.05.2023
Martin Asbæk Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark

Working with painting – or image-making – in this expanded field, somewhere between painting, sculpture, and installation, and often in dialogue with other artists and their works as well as with other contemporary visual products, the works point to painting as a form of interface between different systems. The painting is the connecting point in the cross-media method that Bonde has consistently practiced over the years. It is the painting that drives the work.
