I am delighted to present the work of painter and filmmaker Bo Bartlett in this month's Artist Watch at the international online arts magazine Escape Into Life.

 

Bo, who lives and works in Columbus, Georgia, is known for his large-scale oil paintings, which one arts essayist describes as not only "delicate and austere" but also "humorous and bizarre." They belong to "a sort of nameless, indistinguishable, dreamscape America." A recipient of numerous painting awards, Bo has had many solo shows and has shown in group exhibitions across the United States.

For today's Artist Watch column, Bo has provided images of eight paintings recently on view at Miles McEnery Gallery in New York City; an Artist Statement and biography; and social media links.
