About the Item

Bo Bartlett The Thin Veil, 2021 Oil on linen 82 x 100 inches 208.3 x 254 cm Signed, titled and dated: "Bo, The Thin Veil, 2021" (verso) -- Bo Bartlett is an American realist painter with a modern vision. With reference to Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth, Bartlett's large-scale oil paintings celebrate the underlying epic nature of the commonplace and the personal history of the extraordinary. Using his friends and family as a cast of characters, Bartlett's narrative works are set around his childhood home in Georgia and his island home in Maine. Whether warm, melancholic or jubilant, Bartlett's masterful paintings represent a deeper, mythical concept of the archetypal, universal home. Jeffrey Abrams elaborates, “Bartlett paints strange, beautiful, disquieting scenes. They are delicate and austere. They are also humorous and bizarre. And nearly all of his new works seem to inhabit a shared world: a sort of nameless, indistinguishable, dreamscape America.” Bo Bartlett (b. 1955, Columbus, GA) lives and works in Columbus, GA and Wheaton Island, ME. Recent solo exhibitions include “Earthly Matters,” Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, SC; Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY; Weber Fine Art, Greenwich, CT; “Forty Years of Drawing,” The Florence Academy of Art, Jersey City, NJ; “Paintings and Works on Paper,” Weber Fine Art, Greenwich, CT, among others. Recent group exhibitions include “Picture This: Highlighting Contemporary Art in Georgia,” Lyndon House Art Center, Athens, GA; “COMPETERE,” The Bo Bartlett Center, Columbus State University, Columbus, GA; “Mirror Mirror,” The Bo Bartlett Center, Columbus State University, Columbus, GA; “Extra Ordinary, Magic Mystery, and Imagination in American Realism,” Georgia Museum of Art, Athens, GA, among others. His work is included in the collections of the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, PA; Asheville Art Museum, Ashville, NC; the Bo Bartlett Center, Columbus, GA; Carpenters Union Hall, Washington, D.C.; Denver Museum of Art, Denver, CO; Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Hunter Museum of American Art, Chattanooga, TN; McCormick Place Metropolis Pier and Exposition Authority, South Hall, Chicago, IL; Mennello Museum of American Art, Orlando, FL; and the Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, GA, among others. Bartlett is the recipient of the South Arts Fellowship, South Arts, Atlanta, GA; 1858 Prize for Contemporary Southern Art, The Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, SC; Museum Merit Award, Philadelphia Museum of Art Award, Philadelphia, PA; Benjamin Lanard Memorial Award, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA; Eleanor S. Gray Prize for Still Life, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA, and more.
