Bonco (aka Paul Nathan) is a full time artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. He predominantly paints with oil on linen but sometimes makes sculpture and textiles. Situated within the field of geometric abstraction, Bonco is interested in discovering the spiritual, through an investigation of the modernist grid, and its variations.
