There is a certain amount of eroticism in Bonnefoit’s paintings. He explains: “It’s normal. A woman is erotic – dressed or undressed. She is sensual. A woman is like an invitation. She is exciting and that in itself is erotic. But perhaps a better word to describe her would be mystery. A woman is mysterious. It’s part of her charm. One can never know her completely. There is so much hidden within every woman. It is the depth inside a woman that I wish to portray with form and color. When Bonnefoit changes medium and switches to oil there is a very noticeable difference in his work. The colors become stronger and more important than the line.
