Like many of Bruce’s paintings this was inspired by a dream he had. And here again, the dream scenario is relived through his emersion in Rudolf Steiner’s color theory. Anima emerges from within the deep violet shades. Her image encapsulates the female element in the male psyche; usually expressed at first unconsciously as a man’s ‘ideal woman’. The ‘anima’ began appearing at a very early stage in Bruce’s work. Likewise, the image of a wise old man, prophet or warrior emerged as a theme at the earliest stages of his artistic development. The artist likens this figure to the ‘Fool On The Hill’ in the Beatles song of that name. A man may be wise in certain ways but foolish in others, strong yet also weak, highly intelligent yet morally bereft, brave today and cowardly tomorrow. Jung dismisses the expectation that for example wisdom, morality, courage can and should be consistent as a misguided and shallow myth of Western thinking and culture, greatly propagated and encouraged no doubt by the commercial entertainment industry. Bruce’s art expresses, signals and communicates such archetypes in a language that invites the viewer to identify him/herself with the images on different levels in their own, individual terms.

Bruce Sherratt was born in England in 1944, the son of a coal miner. His gift for drawing and painting was recognized early and he began studying art full-time at age fifteen. As a young art student he was inspired by the early surrealist masters. Shortly after obtaining a degree in painting Bruce fulfilled a youthful ambition by travelling to Mexico where he settled, quickly establishing his own identity as a surrealist painter and exhibiting in Guadalajara, San Francisco and Mexico City. In the early 1970s he became interested in theories and the psychology of artistic creativity. Focusing primarily on fantasy as a stimulus for developing creative/imaginative skills he was awarded an advanced degree in art education at the University of Wales. Bruce then embarked on a rich and varied two-fold career as a practicing-exhibiting artist and teacher whose fundamental raison d'etre remains his own painting. Sherratt became interested in comparative religions and philosophies and in particular the work of Rudolf Steiner, especially the latter's work on colour theory; all of which had a profound effect on his work both as an artist and art educator. Bruce Sherratt has lived and worked in Canada, the United States, Germany, Africa, South America, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and currently in Ubud,Bali where he founded and runs his own art center and gallery - Bali Center For Artistic Creativity (BCAC) and Bruce Sherratt Gallery Of Tropical Surrealism. His travels have deeply influenced his work and its development. Nowadays Bruce's time and energies are focused at his home, studio and Art Center in Bali where paints, teaches and lives with his wife and teenage son.
