About Me:

American painter, media artist, actor born on terra nullius in the South Pacific. After living mostly in large cities around the world over the past three-decades, once again living in the Pacific, in an artists' squat deep in a remote valley of Hawai'i. Bön spends his time learning ancient ways, painting and pondering why when the arts world refers to Asia/Pacific art, the heart of the Pacific, with its own deep traditions and belief systems albeit largely crushed by outsider traditions, is rarely seen as contemporary or relevant to today's conditions.

Former university arts faculty professor in new media art and intellectual property law, and later research fellow for a social progress NGO in China, left China in 2008 when his situation became untenable after the massive earthquake in Chongqing destroyed his studio and art work and long-standing problems with authorities escalated. Bön has had recent solo and group exhibitions in Beijing, Shanghai, Bologna, Chiang Mai, Pärnu, Milano, London (University of London SOAS, Hayward Gallery), Munich and Paris.
