About his work
Aldo Bonato's extensive oeuvre of drawings displays a highly individual pictorial language of unmistakeable mastery, derived from comics. He became known in the 1970s with socially critical drawings on old jeans, packing paper and bread bags, with his 'rats' series and street maps and topographic maps painted in bright colours on both sides.
Aldo Bonato – a wanderer in the itinerancy of his own history.
