On the joyfully cartoon-like and formally masterful paintings of Louise Bonnet

Treading a fine line between beauty and ugliness, the paintings of Swiss-born, Los Angeles-based artist Louise Bonnet (born 1970) feature voluptuous torsos and bulbous extremities, odd-looking noses, nipples and wig-like clusters of mostly blonde hair. With her eclectic approach to the figure, Bonnet challenges ideas of identity and representation.
