J'aime/Je n'aime pas", 14,8 cm x 21 cm, ink on paper, 2020, exhibition view at Botanique (Centre Culturel de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles).
Contemporary painting continues to reinvent itself by drawing from its rich past and experimenting with formulas that are more or less invisible and consistent with the aesthetics of the time. With digital influences being prominent today, many images – and of course painting, both abstract and figurative – are composed of links that are more or less simple or complex between multiple subjects that converge. This approach was also used in pop art and in the so-called relational art of the 1970s. Sébastien Bonin's current visual work is precisely at the forefront of all these elements in terms of design and layout. He borrows, extracts, redefines, and reassembles to create invisible images.
