"The world I dream inside
my studio mirrors the world outside it--the sprawling 21st century
chaos driven and dominated by irrational emotions. It strikes
me sometimes as humorous, sometimes as terrifying. In looking
over the evolution of my work over the last few years, it's increasingly
coming to reflect a new Dark Ages viewed through a comic-apocalyptic
lens." Read artist's complete
statement >>
Bartley Johnson's work can be
seen in a group exhibit Katrina Lasko's gallery in Bernalillo,
New Mexico from December 11, 2004 - January 29, 2005, as well
