Artist Statement:
It is clear Arthur’s interest
in the absurd, humor, the
wildly imaginative, can be
seen in his art even before he
began his studies at San
Francisco's Academy of Art,
from which he graduated with a
BFA in 1978. His work has been
mostly described as surreal,
fantastic, visionary. Arthur’s
work reflects his respect for
a range of artists, from Edgar
Allen Poe to Elvis Costello,
from Delacroix to the outsider
genre, from rock and roll to
jazz and the classics.
Wordplay interests him, and
sometimes he translates humor
and the eccentric onto canvas.
There are stories in his
paintings, though maybe
without a beginning or an
end....and sometimes there
doesn’t need to be one. His
mastery with the brush when
depicting the most awesome
aspects of nature, the sea and
water is no less remarkable
than his imagination.

Artist Reviews:
Arthur Bell has a series
of stunningly beautiful
paintings, loose in execution,
harmonious in coloring, that
gives the viewer entry into a
very personal world. His
Coming of the Lord is a witty,
original and comic piece. The
archangel knitting while
awaiting the arrival of the
Lord is just one...
