| Artist Statement | Like roots underground or bones beneath flesh, the marks and erasures, the gestural immediacy of the graphite drawing of 1979 exists twenty years later beneath the layers of bright colors in the drawings of 1999. Constantly drawing, always a figurative element, always a story, sometimes mine, sometimes someone else's story. Twenty years on paper the marks and erasures: my past, present, and future. (Bartow, 1999) |

| About the Artist | The frailty of life on this planet and the need to recognize the interconnectedness of all species are common threads that weave through Bartow's work. His Yurok Indian heritage and his experiences in Vietnam are the source of these feelings and nurture his imagery. Crow/raven and a pantheon of other animals, including man, figure prominently in his work. He reanimates the ancient myths of Northwest peoples into his visual language. Once the symbol of rebirth and the spirit of all life, crow is a ghost-like figure in this monotype who knows "he" is no longer central to our lives. (OAC documentation, 1990). A Vietnam veteran and a Yurok tribal member, he addresses grief and fear in his work as means to dismantling them. His work is represented by Froelick Gallery and Stonington Gallery.
