Artist Statement:
Myths and the creation of
myths - the things that we
remember in history as being
real, fascinate me.
I abstractly, and
symbolically, paint from
extensive research, and travel
into the cultures which have
created these myths.
“Bernard Pracko has uniquely
explored the human psyche
through the ages by using
historic symbols from the
beginning of human existence.
He integrates natural
phenomena with references to
prehistoric, pagan, Christian,
Islamic, Judaic, Buddhist and
other spiritual practices
which become visions on
canvas. There is a significant
component to Pracko that goes
farther than the quantifiable
human experience into
mythology and beyond the
visible universe. That is why
Bernard Pracko is being shown
at Kirkland Museum.” By Hugh
Grant, Director and Curator,
Kirkland Museum, Denver, 10
May, 2005...
