3RD: Coloric Crescendo — All Street Gallery

NEW YORK, NY — “Coloric” Crescendo brings together J.Bonegard’s latest works, which encapsulate a methodology he established in 2023 involving the systematic layering of found materials, textiles, twine, and acrylic paint. Alongside the artist’s processual approach to art-making is a philosophical exploration, driven by mythology, spirituality, and music spanning operatic arrangements, classical melodies, gospel, and blues. Each painterly composition can be seen as an escalating ballad, with notes building upon the next, increasing in volume and often in complexity, before reaching a climactic moment.

Bonegard is a Boston-based visual artist who has spent the past several years exploring the complexities of art perception and interpretation of dreams through abstract painting, sculpture, and performance art. As a storyteller and former orthopedic surgeon, he creates works that reflect the depth of his life experiences, paired with a rigorous, methodical approach that mirrors his surgical background.

About All Street Gallery

Founded in 2018, All Street Gallery is a gallery and platform for emerging and underrepresented artists whose work focuses on social engagement and community empowerment. Initially created as an artist collective and grassroots protest organization, All Street is driven by its roots in the city’s creative community. The gallery’s mission is to use art as a means of protest, resistance, and social change, highlighting voices that challenge the status quo. After opening its first location on East Third Street in the East Village, All Street expanded in 2023 with a second space at 119 Hester Street. Both locations continue to provide a platform for artists whose work addresses important social and political issues.
