He is known for his rigorously geometric and often brightly colored paintings and three-dimensional works. Bonies studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague from 1957 to 1962. His artistic practice is characterized by a systematic exploration of form, line, and color, often employing simple geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, and lines arranged in precise and balanced compositions. His work frequently engages with the relationship between positive and negative space, creating dynamic visual experiences through carefully considered arrangements. Throughout his career, Bonies has exhibited extensively in the Netherlands and internationally, contributing significantly to the development and understanding of concrete art. His dedication to clarity, reduction, and the inherent properties of the artistic elements has established him as a key representative of this artistic movement.
