Skeletal Trauma (2022); Art Installation/Sculpture; J. Bonegard. The subject of this installation pertains to 'wear and tear' that the human body is often subjected to in the course of daily living. On par with the much-talked about subject of 'emotional stress' and the unique form of trauma that it sometimes triggers, physical stress is a precursor to the often irreversible outcome, called skeletal trauma. From elevated BMI, to exercise-induced trauma, to excessive alcohol intake, and drug abuse, the effects on the body are lasting, both to the skeleton and the organ that it protects. As the work of an artist cannot always distance itself from the reality of living, this piece has an element of activism attached to it. The choice of the textbooks (recycled from the artist's, redundant medical library) was intentional, lending its name to the title of the art installation. The nature of the construct and the simulation of a pendulum in the video portrays the real message of this artwork, is also an attempt to bring to light, why balance is critical to our engagement in all of human endeavors. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTN4ifAmNR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Curtain (2022); oil on linen 36" x 60"; J.Bonegard. Of all the meanings attributed to the word, 'curtain', those that relate to the theater seem closest to what the artist that created this work had in mind, especially the description that signifies the start of a performance. This piece, in the design of a curtain adorns a central portion of the window in Peggy's bedroom (see earlier post). https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQS5KIl9Uh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lift Me Up (2022) | Art Installation/Sculpture by J. Bonegard. 'Lift Me up', is a follow-up to the earlier, medicine-inspired piece, titled, 'The Art of Transfusion', video of which is available on YouTube. In addition to the works of abstraction that have come to define the artist, @J.Bonegard, art installations are another dimension to the artist's ongoing creative journey. The three separable components of the artpiece are loosely held in a state of balance, using the weight of one of the two oblique pieces to balance the other out. It is indeed an exercise in equilibrium. The featured photograph of the work, a triumvirate construct, is an example of how the artist continues to evolve, using the prior experience in the practice of surgery. The artwork, created using several disused orthopedic crutches, is another example of the artist's commitment to recycling, in this instance, using reclaimed disposable medical supplies for artistic purposes. The title of the work, 'Lift me Up', is a metaphor for the challenging moments in life, when one could benefit from the support of others, to better endure the storm. The somewhat acrobatic display of crutches tells a story that exceeds the expectation of visual esthetics, but much deeper, making one more aware of the need to be of support, and be a crutch to those who are vulnerable at heart. #ariellabudick @hauserwirth #parismaville #artinstallation #fondationvuitton #fondationvuittonparis #theartdistrict @librairiemariangoodman #lexpositionducentenaire #marcelduchamp #artcontemporain #contemporaryart #artconceptuel #peinturecontemporaine #conceptualart #hauserwirth #hauserwirth #fondationdartcontemporain #centredart #centredartcontemporain #galeriedart #artgallery #expoparis #exhibitionparis #artcurator #artcollector #artadvisor #collectionneurdart #artcollection #MGGNY #artoninstagram #lemuseealecole #mariangoodmangallery https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNpE5Ag8ky/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beyond Surgery (2022); No.1 - 4; part of 100-piece series; oil on hard book cover/twine. "Since transitioning to full time art studio practice from a career in surgery a few years ago, I discovered that the experience of yesteryears is as relevant in the evolution of an artist." - J.

Life, Liberty and Happiness (2022); (7" x 10"); oil on wood. As the day of celebration of country's independence day approached, this pmtablet-size painting began to make sense to me. After intermittently working on the untextured wood surface for two weeks, no particular endpoint came to mind. One thing I was sure about though, is that a moment would come when I would recognize what it was meant to reveal. Overnight, in a trance-like moment, the revelation became vivid, and the reality of the piece became defined. That this piece is so titled, is no accident. It is truly in celebration of those unalienable Rights, of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' Happy July 4th! https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmHRBgLi2t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hungry Man (2022); acrylic on ....; multi-panel construct. This piece is a work of art, and a short story rolled into one. While the protagonist of the story, is the featured abstract image, named, the 'hungry man', the multiple panels of this art display tell a moving story of an adult man, about the subject of food, access to food, culture and society. It is a story that cuts across all ages, the details of which is the subject of an upcoming fictional book publication. . . . #hungryman #arts #contemporaryart #painting #story #fiction #abstractart #jbonegard #food #foodart #culture #ethnicfood #soulfood #gallery #artist #painting #museum #bonegardianabstraction #curator #arthistorian #storyartist #artwashing #artification #hunger #foodinequity #foodscarcity #book #bookstagram #hungrymanstory #culture #society https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd7KPfnsp0Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Miracle (2022); acrylic on canvas; 24" x 25". In biblical terms, many miracles are preceded by the spoken word. This artwork is a complex construct of the spoken, an improbable act, and the human flesh, as in the organ of the mouth and dentition. All these features are cleverly depicted on a canvas, the length of an adult arm span. Talking about miracles, the event of May 8th, mothers day comes to mind. About the details, I will save that for the upcoming exhibition.

Gratitude (2021) (30"×30") by J.Bonegard; oil/graphite on canvas. Let gratitude be your attitude at all time; in the morning when you wake up, and at night as you go to sleep. This simple act is only available to the living; it's the language of the soul as it connects to the heavenly realm. In the fine sketch on this canvas, is the evidence of the complex thoughts that went into creating the geometric construct that symbolizes the myriad of ways that one can show appreciation. In the words of the artist, "gratitude is the whisper that emanates from your being, every time you exhale." For those in that part of the world where Thanksgiving is celebrated, let the spirit expand to be with you at all times. . . . . . . . . . #Gratitude #appreciation #thanks #happythanksgiving #joy #jbonegard #bonegardism #bonegardtheorem #bonegarding #bonegardchapel #bonegardinstitute #abstractart #contemporaryart #artcollector #artcurator #arthistorian https://www.instagram.com/p/CWrp0gbgwtL/?utm_medium=tumblr
