Bruce Garrity

Cerulean Arts Collective Member Bruce Garrity in his Studio

Bruce Garrity’s landscape, figure and still life paintings are poetic explorations of pictorial inventions and equivalents for visual experience. The paintings are developed from perception; in on-site drawings and paintings, memory and the experience of history/art history. The paintings utilize a broad vocabulary of painterly mark, color and texture in the pursuit of visual drama.

These landscape spaces are the more intimate surroundings of forest interiors, the being in as opposed to the looking upon these circumstances. Trees and boulders punctuate the space. Water, whether tranquil and transparent or rushing through rock cataracts or waterfalls becomes the voice of the forest and is often the only indication of the sky.
