Nino Mier Gallery

Nino Mier Gallery is pleased to present its second solo exhibition with Danish artist Peter Bonde. Mirror Man, which takes its title from Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band's 1971 album, consists of 27 new paintings that expand upon Bonde's unique abstractionism and ongoing interest in defacement, vulgarity, and American culture. Some works in this exhibition are composed of acrylic paint on ultra-reflective mirror foil, a medium unique to Bonde's practice. Others employ maverick additions such as a baseball bat, a handbag, and beer, which tap into Bonde's longstanding sense of Dada humor and testify to his allegiance to the confrontational aesthetics of the Danish art scene in the early ’80s.
