He was born into a Dutch Huguenot-descended family who had been bakers for many generations.He attended the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. He arrived in Bali in 1929 where he met the German artist Walter Spies and the Dutch musicologist Jaap Kunst. With Kunst, hemade a trip to Nias, returning to Bali in 1930. He was invited to live in Ubud in by Cokorda Gde Raka Sukawati. Between 1929 and 1940 Bonnet stayed in Ubud. When Spies moved to Campuhan, Bonnet took over Spies' water palace in Ubud and set up his studio. He became involved in community issues including healthcare and education. He was also very involved in the Pita Maha movement,which encouraged local artists to raise their artistic standards. After the Japanese arrived in Bali, Bonnet remained free until 1942 when he was ordered to be sent to Sulawesi. He spent the remainder ofWorld War II in internment camps in Pare-Pare, Bolong and Makassar. In 1947 Bonnet returned to Bali where he built his house and studio in Campuan.

SIEW HOCK MENG (SINGAPOREAN, B.1942) - RECLINING NUDE Oil on canvas, laid on board Painted in 1991 57cm high x 72cm long, with frame >> Additional photos and condition report available on request About the artist: Despite low profile and infrequent exposure, Siew Hock Meng’s work is highly regarded in the art circle and is much sought after in the region for his forte in pastel works, oil portraiture and allegorical painting imbued with complex mood and nuanced sensuality. His paintings enjoy especially strong patronage in Indonesia and Taiwan where he often spent months painting on commission. Siew completed a year of study at the NAFA. Wanting to learn more about the meaning and purpose of art and life than merely how to paint, he started to read aesthetics and philosophy. To find more time to read he abandoned art and went to work as a rubber tapper in Pengerang in Johore and then Kemaman (Trengganu). In Kemaman, his reading led him to Marxist-Leninist literature which he found more appealing than anything he had read. He became interested in politics and joined Labour Party and was an activist making banners, posters and cartoons until the party disbanded a few years later. The experience then contributed immensely to the rich philosophical leanings that continue to underpin his art today. Siew creates works that are imaginative and thought-provoking, always challenging the viewers to dig deeper into his artistic motivations. His nudes are seductively sensuous often evoking a mystic eroticism especially as characters in legends of Southeast Asia. His keen observations and personal reflections are especially poignant in the many thoughtful and contemplative landscapes of Singapore and other places he has visited.
