Allan Stone Projects is pleased to present Bo Bartlett: Dreamland on view from March 1 - April 21, 2018. The exhibition highlights four large-scale paintings from 1995 to 2001 that feature the artist's exploration of mythical themes. Bartlett's imagery fuses art historical, biblical and literary narratives in contemporary contexts. His multilayered references result in dreamlike paintings imbued with mysterious or surrealist undertones. Aligned with the great realist painters before him like Edward Hopper, Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth, Bartlett continues the American painter's tradition of exalting the commonplace with personal significance.
