Featured June 2015 show at Art Central Gallery:
What does your mind conjure up when you hear the word swamp? A dark, scary place where danger lurks at every turn? Perhaps that is the case in the movies, but for local artist, Renee Bruce, the swamp is anything but scary. It is full of light, color and pattern.
Bruce’s newest watercolor paintings will be on exhibit at Art Central Gallery during the month of June. “These works depict the first stirrings of spring in the swamp,” says the artist, “a time of anticipation and bright, fresh colors.” The lily of the valley is a sure harbinger of warmer weather to come, and “The Duck Box” is well-used but ready for another season. These paintings show the swamp to be a busy, colorful yet peaceful place.
Renee used a synthetic paper called "Yupo" for this latest work. The translucent version allows the artist to apply paint to both sides of the paper which gives the painting a lovely glow and color intensity.
Visit Art Central Gallery to see this collection, “It’s a Swamp Thing,” Monday-Saturday, 10-5, and meet the artist at the Third Thursday reception, June 18, 2015 5-8pm.
