Please join us Saturday, September 12, 2015 from 6-9pm for the Opening Reception of Stephen Bruce's 2015 collection: Phenomenal Metalworks.

Although Northern California native Stephen Bruce has only been showing work since June of 2006, his acid paintings on copper have already been seen in over 20 TV shows, such as (House, Revenge, Big Bang Theory, Law & Order LA, Californication) and movie sets (Iron Man 3, Horrible Bosses, The Avengers and The Social Network).

About his process: Stephen Bruce’s method of choice is cold patinas. He sprays, brushes, dips or sponges an acid solution and allows the metal to slowly react. Previous experience tells him how the colors, patterns and textures will develop and how long it may take to happen.

Artist Statement: “My biggest artistic influence is the greatest artist ever, Mother Earth. Every artist is imitating her. My seascapes are inspired by the beauty of the ocean, perhaps an aerial view from the sky. My abstracts, an attempt to mimic the colors and patterns of some geological formations. And my landscapes are my best efforts to capture a fleeting moment in a sunset, a sunrise, or on the horizon.”
