BIO:

Tom Bartek has been making art for sixty years. Born in 1932, the Omaha native studied art at Cooper Union in New York City and then moved back to Omaha, where he was exhibitions manager at Joslyn Art Museum. He taught painting, sculpture, and film making at Creighton University. Then in 1975, he established a studio and began selling serigraphs and paintings.

Serigraphy, or silk screen printing, is a method of making fine art original prints. The artist makes a separate stencil for each color used in the picture. In multi-color work, extremely close and consistent registration is crucial. Bartek intends his serigraphs to have a wide, popular audience, much like the Japanese woodcut prints created by Hokusai and Hiroshige in the late 1700's to early 1800's.

His serigraphs have been distributed nationally by Ferinand Roten Galleries, MacMillan Publishers, and Brentano's. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 individuals have Bartek's artworks in their homes and offices.

In the 1990's, Bartek shifted focus back to other media, including photography, painting, and assemblages. He has shown throughout the Midwest, on the East and West coasts, and overseas. His work has been displayed in museums and institutions and galleries, including the Peter H. Davidson & Co. in New York, the Sylvia White Gallery in Santa Monica, the Sheldon Art Gallery in Lincoln, the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., the Roten-Bretano Galleries in New York/Washington DC/Chevy Chase, the Ueno- Juko Education Foundation in Tokyo, and the Institute for Mexican-North American Cultural Relations in Mexico City. His art appears in the corporate collections of ConAgra, Century Link, Scoular, and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. See less
