Produced on the occasion of Beatrice Bonino’s exhibition If I did, I did, I die at Jacqueline Sullivan Gallery, New York, 23 February–15 April, 2023.

In her work Beatrice Bonino explores the subtle interplay of texture, visibility, and material connotations, thus developing an idiosyncratic visual language. Often starting with containers or broader interpretations of domestic space her practice invites a reconsideration of these objects’ symbolic and sensory qualities. Subtle acts of compression and juxtaposition transform old materials — boxes, plastic, vinyl, curtains — into something else.
