  • With recent solo exhibitions at Galerie Max Heltzer in Paris (September – October 2021) and Gagosian in Basel (June – July 2021), Louise Bonnet is internationally celebrated for her surreal universe populated by uncanny creatures who are at once beautiful and grotesque. Bursting out of proportion and scale in a manner that has won the Geneva-born, Los-Angeles-based artist favourable comparisons to the cartoonish aesthetic of Philip Guston and Peter Saul, her faceless figures ‘function as emotional vessels for a more empathetic understanding of the complexities of the human condition.’ i

     

    Bonnet’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art; Yuz Foundation, Shanghai; Brandhorst Museum, Munich; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; amongst others.
