He extracts archetypal By Emily M. Cannon Chronicle Art Critic Prepare yourself to view one of the art department's most significant shows. "Life Is Not Picture Perfect" is a raw translation of spirit, an exorcism executed primarily for artist Bob Barnes himself. Barnes' etchings and paintings parallel poems; each element a powerful phrase contributing to a full integration of message. Common elements are threaded "Life's Fitful Fever," and other etchings and paintings by Bob Barnes will be on display at the Alvin Gittin's Gallery in the Fine Arts building through the end of December. throughout the works; universal symbols that become personal to the artist. Dogs, demons, crosses, genitalia, bar scenes, baby dolls, bears, buxom women and beds surface repetitively in the impressive collection of over 30 works. The themes are carefully interwoven to create a rich tapestry of experience, a sort of novel 3-- D Applications from minority students who wish to participate in the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday, at the 5th Annual National College and University Student Conference at the King Center in Atlanta, Georgia, January 17-21991, are now being accepted.

Barnes displays a high level of compassion and understanding experience drawn from literature as a personal parallel to his own relationships. Memories of Les Miserables fade in and out of my mind as I view some of the images. "Baron of Beef" is a powerful etching, featuring a young, muscular male seated on a barstool. He has holes for eyes, and there is a woman with legs subtly spread, facing him. Two couples are present in the bar, and, although they are touching, the central character is disengaged from any physical contact, as he is throughout the pieces. An untitled painting seems to relive this scene, except this time, the woman in front of him is a young girl being presented to him by her mother. The embracing couple sits to the side, and the man sits isolated on his bar ever-prese- nt stool. "Unrequited Lust" presents another bar scene in a painting, with a woman posing on a table top as two old men ogle her. The kissing couple sits in the background next demon. Only the demon's face and the woman's dress are painted with a shiny gloss. to-- a green-face- d In "Old," there are six circus-lik- e characters, bent, broken and distorted. They all have empty eyes and an osteoporitic stance. One figure is in contrast to the rest; it is a young gangly priest with perfect toes and a relatively symmetrical body. He holds the Bible in his young hands. In the etching, "Life's fitful fever," creatures dance in a mountain cabin. A discarded bottle lays empty on the floor, and a gutted deer hangs from a hook on the wall. The image feels celebratory and melodious. In the process of recovering from numerous arthritis-relate- Barnes has created therapeutic for himself in situations environments not necessarily conducive to healing. He sets up a studio wherever he may be, regardless of hospital rules. Each work seems to be a prayer, a catharsis, and in exposing his personal trauma, he makes himself vulnerable to the viewer.
