Bonco - Visual Artist

Bonco, aka Paul Nathan, is a visual artist living in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. He predominantly paints with oil on linen and sometimes makes sculpture and textiles. https://www.boncosmos.com/Bonco explores the language of geometric abstraction, signs and symbols and is interested in discovering the spiritual, through an investigation of the modernist grid and its variations.  In this episode we discuss the varied career Bonco had in the UK and America before studying at Elam School of Fine Arts and committing to a painting practice in 2017, the metaphors he uses in his work, how he feels his work doesn't really belong in Aotearoa and his overarching determination to do some good in the world.This episode is generously supported by Creative Communities Scheme, AucklandSupport the showNgā mihi, thanks for listening!
