Bug in the Brain - Timed Auction
11 OCTOBER 2021 - 02 NOVEMBER 2021Notes
Bartholomew, a talented professional figurative artist, sadly died aged 30, in December 2019 from a low-grade glioma - a brain tumour. Despite living with the tumour for nine years, Bartholomew had extraordinary zest and energy, hurling himself at every opportunity with indifference to his condition. Such was his approach that many - with whom he worked closely - had no idea of his condition. His work habitually grew out of literature and his family have kindly donated a signed print of the painting 'What Branches Grow' from Bartholomew's first solo show at the Fine Art Society that drew inspiration from T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land.
