Artist Statement: Creating a world where color theory meets contemporary sculpture. Exploring nostalgia and indulgence through reference to sweets, toy culture, 80's and 90's retro flare. Using cement as my material, I'm interested in the idea of excess in today's consumer driven society. Conveying the never-ending cupcake in a "sugar coated" reality. Reflective of a world of over stimulation and re-appropriated ideas. Sprinkled pills, oversized diamonds, toys of an era, splashed with glitter and a wet gloss finish. A combination of glutinous shinny landscapes who reveal childhood colors of cotton candy blue and bubble gum pink.Artist Bio: Olivia Bonilla is an east coast painter and sculptor born in Vermont, currently living in Charleston, SC.
