Christian Jon Bonett (b. 1975, Bath, England) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working on Gadigal land in Eora/Sydney. Bonett employs installation, ceramic sculpture, painting, and neon elements in his work. His work references iconic Australian cars, road signs, and the urban environments they occupy. Through playful manipulation of context, Bonett provocatively transforms, distorts, and subverts these everyday objects and spaces, challenging our perceptions of these forms to critique and challenge societal constructs of identity, gender, class, consumerism, and environmental concerns.
Bonett holds an MFA (Ceramics) from the National Art School, a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Manchester School of Art, UK and a Bachelor of Art Education from UNSW.

Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
