Make Believe by John Hartley

Artist Talk – 1pm Monday March 1, 2010
Some say there are two ways to approach image making. One is to be influenced by the surrounding environment. Another is to create primarily from an inner world without external reference. My images rely on both. My paintings combine two passions: making art and collecting -– linking the past, present, and future through inanimate objects, memories, and relationships. Figures and objects are dramatically lit, some intentionally blurred to obscure identification, yet remaining vaguely familiar. I use a variety of props for my compositions, including toys, matches, fire, trophies, and portraits of family, friends, and students.
