About
the surrealist and visionary portrait artist, Bonny Hut
MERRY MEET
!
Bonny
Hut's art explores various aspects of the human paradigm, the
essential reality and unreality of the stories of life, beauty and
corruption.
Her work
reflects infinite influences, as diverse as a drop of rain, the sound
of a blade of grass in the wind, feelings derived by her sisters
cooking, (Bonny does not cook too well) twisted drain pipes or twisted
trees, the human soul, love, injustice, cat paws scratching windows and
UFO sightings.
Bonny
occasionally paints her familiars (shown below), who, in turn, help her
to do her art work. Moses has recently suggested, though a series of
creative and elaborate poses, (conducted in unusual but specific
locations) that she should paint a realistic series of
extraterrestrial portraits...

Bonny was
born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and grew up in Durban where she
obtained a National Diploma in Fine art from the Durban University of
Technology and a Cert 4 in Graphic Design from Durban Central Technical
College.
Her Fine
Arts education included an interesting time in South Africa's
history. During Bonny's first year studying Fine Art, Durban Uni Tech
was 95% white (with very few Indians and Asians) as it had been, more
or less, since it opened in 1907. Four years later during her final
year at of art the Uni Tech, it was almost 70% black and we had our
first Black president, Mandela.
She
has lived Melbourne, Australia, since 2000 where she ran the Alchemy
School of Art for 10 years and has taught over a thousand people to
paint and draw. She still teaches art occasionally. Information
regarding art courses held by Bonny Hut is available here: www.ArtClassesMelbourne.com
She was
also the director at the Esoteric Gallery for 5 years where she curated
many art exhibitions and organised many collaborative art projects,
events, conferences, workshops and community projects.
Bonny has
had 12 solo exhibitions and 15 group exhibitions since 1996.
She also
occasionally works on art related film and television projects. She has
produced and edited two TV series called "Inside Imaginary
Realism" showcasing interviews with artists who live in Australia
which was broadcast in 2015 & 2016 on a local Australian Television
network. (Link below.) She is also working on other collaborative
film and television projects with VANA (Visionary Art Network
Australia.)
Bonny also
used to work full time as a web site designer for two Melbourne
newspapers and is the creator of the VANA site.
In her
spare time she likes to write poetry and do research on human rights
issues, ufology, quantum physics, various aspects of the system, the
paranormal and help out where she can, to make this world a better
place, especially for those groups who are disadvantaged or being
discriminated against.
Bonny
likes to engage the viewer by leaving them with a clue to the infinite
possibilities of thought and ideas found outside the box of our
cultural narratives and programming.
Blessed be
!

THIS IS A PLUG FOR BONNY HUT'S GRANDMOTHER, MAVIS
HUTCHISON & HER FASCINATING & INSPIRING BOOK. AVAILABLE
HERE FROM AMAZON.
"Mavis Hutchison
became famous as the first woman that ran across the United States,
from Los Angeles to New York City at the age of 54. Her route, run in
1978, took her 2871 miles and 70 days. She made history and fulfilled a
dream. That crowning moment, however, did not come easy. By her own
admission, she had no personality, no guts and no backbone. Her rise
from whispering hope with no hope at all, to that triumphant finish
proves once more that success is available to all who are willing to
pay the price and will accept that there are no limits other than those
we impose on ourselves."
Since 2005
(since age 81) she has set South African W80+ master records for 100
metres (18.84 sec), 200 metres (45.46 sec), 400 metres (1:52.88 min),
and 800 metres (4:34.13 min).
