Bonneau

Bonneau is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jacob Bonneau liked filling white walls with things that weren’t quite pictures. He made prints—flat, black shapes that looked like lace turned inside out, or maybe a screen door someone left open in the dark. Slide one between your fingers and you feel the sharp edges where the paper meets the ink.

His “Ornament print” is a tangle of triangles and zigzags that refuses to sit still; stare too long and the pattern starts to wiggle. If you’ve ever squinted at a bathroom floor until it looked like a maze, you’ll get what he’s up to.
