About The Artwork

Ouroboros is the snake that eats its own tail. The image appears in numerous cultures throughout history and the world, signifying the eternal life force that is both creative and destructive. Here this great mythic figure is the crowned ruler of his immediate environment. To dream or hallucinate this image may signify an unconscious or subconscious need or wish to transform the self. The image may resonate in a viewer’s mind or soul, indicating that he she may need or desire to undergo some kind of mental/spiritual regeneration. As such the picture acts as a metaphor for the process of psychoanalysis itself. Certainly the image serves for me to express various deep sensibilities and emotions that have long been alive within my own psyche throughout my life. Pure liquid pigments allow me to achieve the power, density and variety of shades needed to encapsulate this kind of universal symbol with the cogency and beauty it seems to demand. As do the sharp, biting black lines.

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.
