Bernard John Bolter IV

<h6><i>Art is an elusive character that is hard to pin down.</i></h6>
<p>Art has been part of the human experience throughout time and throughout all cultures.</p>
<p>Art can also be so specific and specialized that we’re not even sure, sometimes, if anybody&#8217;s making any new art at all.</p>
<h5><b>I work to contribute somewhere in the middle of this spectrum, with a nod to what has been built upon in the past and a sense of the universal.</b></h5>
<h6><i>Art can be both Form and Concept, but what comes first?</i></h6>
<p>The physical manifestation of an object is essential to the concept of art.</p>
<p>The idea to originally call something art was itself a concept.</p>
<h5><b>My work is a blend of form and concept conceived over time.</b></h5>
<h6><i>Western art can no longer go west, as it just ends up back east.</i></h6>
<p>Europe is where Western Art is said to have begun.</p>
<p>The Americas is where Western Art it said to have continued.</p>
<h5><b>My experiences in Europe and America have given me a broad understanding of Western Art.</b></h5>
<h6><i>Modern art has painted itself into a corner in terms of what to call itself today.</i></h6>
<p>It was once called Modern Art.</p>
<p>It was then called Contemporary Art.</p>
<h5><b>Learning about the history of Western Art has inspired and propelled me, but I keep myself open and try not to assume I know where it is going.</b></h5>
