About the visionary arnd surrealist artist

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 extra-terrestrial portraits...

Bonny Hut's journey began in Johannesburg, South Africa, and took root in the coastal city of Durban, where her love of image and imagination first became a vocation. There she earned a National Diploma in Fine Art from the Durban University of Technology and a Cert 4 in Graphic Design from Durban Central Technical College — the formal foundation for a life that would refuse to stay inside any one frame.

In the late 90s, Bonny moved with her family to New Zealand, and eventually crossed the Tasman to Australia. She has called Melbourne home since 2000. It is here that she built her legacy as a teacher, founding and running the Alchemy School of Art for many years, where she has taught over a thousand people to draw and paint and trust their own vision.

For five years, she was also the Director of the Esoteric Gallery on High Street in Northcote — a beloved suburb of Melbourne — where she curated many exhibitions and sparked countless collaborative art projects, events, conferences, workshops and community gatherings.

As an exhibiting artist, Bonny has held 12 solo exhibitions and 15 group exhibitions since 1996.

Her creativity extends beyond the canvas into film and television. She has produced and edited two seasons of the TV series "Inside Imaginary Realism" — a series of intimate interviews with visionary artists living in Australia — which was broadcast on a local Australian television network in 2015 & 2016.

She continues to work on collaborative film and television projects with VANA (Visionary Art Network Australia).

Before committing to art and teaching full-time, Bonny worked full-time as a website designer for two Melbourne newspapers.

At the heart of all her work is a deep fascination with the unseen. A natural healer and psychic, Bonny is very interested in spiritual and paranormal subjects. She is a certified Emotion Code practitioner, a certified Compassion Key practitioner, and has been reading Tarot professionally for over 20 years.

Through her art, Bonny likes to leave you with a key, a clue, a small crack in the door — an invitation to the infinite possibilities of thought and ideas that exist just outside the box of our cultural narratives and programming.

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).
