Description:
Whether interpreting lush landscapes or portraying the human form, Bruce Marion's lyrical coloration and dramatic use of light and shadow, characterized by his distinctive 'inner glow,' seem to illuminate his subjects. Long a student of the Martial Arts, Marion believes in the chi of inanimate objects, and seeks to 'discover' the form and energy of his subjects from within his canvas. Thus, each piece begins not from a blank canvas, but from a frenetic and wildly colorful abstract under-painting. Then, like a sculptor chipping away at a stone, Marion seeks his subject by selectively subtracting information from the canvas before him. Marion studied under world-renowned artist Pat Nagel, and Lorser Feitelson, the father of Post-Surrealism.
