Figures in suspense.

Bo Bartlett is a consummate narrative realist, a true believer in painting’s ability to transform time into riveting moments. See his gored matador lying, dying before an equally bloodied bull as both teeter on the edge of the abyss. This masterpiece of restraint and control, and others of similar ilk, suggest that Bartlett is making his finest work yet.
