Peter Bonde: Two collages. 40 x 30 cm
Peter Bonde has the painting as his artistic center. Through many years, he has circled its expressions, qualities, and materials and even though he also has worked sculpturally, it is the painting he con- tinuously returns to. Peter Bonde was a part of the group The Young Wild. In the 1980s, they tested
and expanded the painting in an expressionistic field. The methods of the group were in the reign of experiments and in this context, Peter Bonde also painted and worked with perishable and untradi-tional materials. He has experimented ever since which has resulted in new ways of approaching the painting.
