Bruce Pearson

An artist fascinated by the natural world working as often as the opportunities arise out in the wild where the rhythm and restlessness of wildlife and landscape, and sometimes people, interact creating powerful images and dramatic themes.

The starting point has to be the field experience as pure observation is the raw material - perhaps a few small sketches, a larger more considered drawing, or an ambitious painting which one hopes distils something of the day's experience. A work straight from the field can sometimes be framed and exhibited as it is; what's left is taken back to the studio to be viewed in a new light and the snatched ideas worked through in different mediums - relief printing (lino and woodcuts), monotype, silk-screen printing, or oil painting.
