Hurtsboro 2021

"Hurtsboro" (2021) by Bo Bartlett depicts five men sitting on a sandy beach with their backs to the viewer, gazing out at the sea. The realism of Bartlett's style is evident in the meticulously rendered figures and the subtle variation of light on the sand. Bartlett's work often reflects on themes of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time, suggesting a deeper narrative beyond the simple depiction of a beach scene. The work can be viewed as a celebration of Black masculinity and the beauty of the natural world.
