60s
This image is a striking piece of graphic surrealism that plays with pareidolia—the human tendency to see faces or patterns in random shapes. Created in 1981 by an artist signed as "Bonells," it blends organic textures with bold, psychedelic colors.
The piece sits at the intersection of Pop Art and Psychedelia. While it was created in 1981, it carries the heavy influence of the late 1960s "Yellow Submarine" aesthetic—specifically the work of Heinz Edelmann or Peter Max. The clean, black outlines and flat color fills give it a very "designed" look, almost like a high-end poster or album cover from that era.
The artwork feels like a representation of internal complexity. By filling the "mind" of the silhouette with
a chaotic yet interlocking puzzle of shapes and colors,
it suggests that what we see on the outside (the simple white silhouette) is powered by a messy, vibrant,
and multifaceted inner world.

East and West
This 1981 artwork by Bonells, titled "East and West,"
is a striking exploration of duality, cultural intersection, and the blending of identities. It uses a bold, graphic style reminiscent of Pop Art or modern caricature to create a complex visual puzzle.
The central focus is a "shared" face where two distinct profiles merge into a single forward-facing entity.
The artist uses high-contrast, primary colors and heavy black outlines to create a "sticker-like" or cutout effect.
The figure is isolated against a neutral gray background, which makes the central form pop. The fluid, curving lines give the piece a sense of organic movement—the two halves don't just sit next to each other; they seem to be flowing into one another.
The title "East and West" suggests a geopolitical or cultural commentary. Created in 1981—during the later years of the Cold War—the image likely symbolizes:
Note on the Artist: The signature "Bonells 1981" in the bottom right corner identifies the creator and the era of the work, reflecting the bold, illustrative trends
of the early 80s.

Galaxy
This artwork is a high-energy explosion of Pop Artsensibilities and Geometric Abstraction. Titled "Galaxy" and dated 1986 by the artist Bonells, it captures the frantic, tech-optimistic aesthetic of the
mid-80s, blending industrial motifs with cosmic metaphors.
The piece is a maximalist "organized chaos." It lacks a single focal point, instead using leading lines—specifically the thick green and blue diagonal tubes—to pull the viewer's eye across the canvas. The composition is divided into several distinct zones:
The Left:Dominated by a massive field of Ben-Day dots(reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein), transitioning from red to orange, creating a sense of depth and vibration.
The Center:A dense intersection of mechanical "pipes" and circular arrow motifs.
The Right:A vertical stack of interlocking blue and grey arrows that suggest downward or upward motion, similar to an escalator or a digital data stream.
The artist uses a highly saturated, primary-heavy palette. Flat, matte blocks of color are placed directly against complex patterns. While much of the image is flat, the "tubes" use repetitive overlapping segments to create a three-dimensional, sculptural effect. Bold, black outlines define every shape, giving the work the crisp, clean feel of a graphic novel or a blueprint.
This piece feels like a visual representation of a complex system—perhaps a metaphor for how information, energy, or life cycles through the universe (the "Galaxy").
