About the Tutor: Bruce Griffith
Bruce is an emotive artist searching for light and storyline. This 18th Solo Exhibition is a select collection of new works in this exciting medium. Painting traditional but semi-realism juxtaposing impressionism. He paints what he sees but more importantly he paints what he feels about what he sees. There is a difference.
Bruce is a CQU graduate, past McGregor & AOTB tutor, prize-winning artist, exhibitor, workshop tutor & increasingly sought after for commissions, as demonstrator of watercolour fine art & workshops. Member of Toowoomba Art Society, Watercolour Society of Queensland, Watercolour Society of Victoria. Bruce is an arts teacher Toowoomba & was declared Grand Champion of Paintings Toowoomba Royal Show 2022 & 2023.
It was not always like that. Many years SE Qld construction scene & a lifetime of fishing & the bush has instilled a love of the outdoors.
Self-taught, Bruce will forever be indebted to his early days with world renowned Australian & overseas artists Robert Wade OAM, Robert Lovett, Greg Allen, David Taylor, Alvaro Castagnet, Joseph Zbukvic & Thomas Schaller, following that up with formal university qualifications through CQU, leading me to a more professional direction of what I am now. This is a rich heritage to widen one’s horizons.
This full-time practising artist has an art studio in Kleinton , Queensland. He engages in workshops & teaching both locally & intrastate. “Teaching makes me a better artist.” He has learnt from some of the best in the world in watercolour & it takes a while to appreciate what is important, rejecting paintings that do not meet his increasingly exacting standards. “Work like that, art will find you.”
