Artist Statement:
The work of Barjou is matured
in silence and in time. At
first glance, the mystique,
the eroticism, and the
obsessions are inspired by the
American comic heroes of the
20’s and 40’s, and in
particular the divine triad –
the Phantom, Mandrake and
Tarzan.
Tributes to the draughtsmen of
that era are not unknown. On
the contrary, Hogarth, Ray
Moore, and Phil Davis are the
chosen children whose
inheritance depicts a
portrayal of feature, speed
and above all the desire to
give pleasure to the ordinary
man.
In the same stroke, the artist
seeks purity in paint and in
the art. He wishes to realize
the essence, the light, the
mystery in his childhood
memories through this bristled
filter.
Transcendance is both subtle
and widespread. The art
evolves as it develops and
diversifies. Research adds
further themes, which both
complete and yet continue the
artist’s meditation - the
circle of power, the cycles of
the icons, the round table and
the crucifixion.
The sublimation of these
themes remains overt alongside
the depiction of the
circumstances and the
perceptions of the artist and
his view of contemporary
events.
These thematic preoccupations
are coupled quite evidently
with diligent research. The
