More Details
Our Guest Artist, Bruce Gomez, comes to us from Denver Colorado. He paints exclusively in pastel on cold-pressed watercolor paper. His works glow with rich color, often winning awards in prestigious pastel and plein air invitational shows, and hang in major corporate collections. A dynamic and engaging teacher, he has taught here in Moab as well as in Telluride, Colorado, Sedona, Arizona, London, England, and Cortona, Italy.

He states "I go out and look to capture that one unique and spectacular moment of life, whether in the mountains, in an urban setting, I might be slogging through a deluge, snowshoeing in minus -10 degrees, or painting plein air in 101 degrees. In spite of all those obstacles, I get to distill it all down to that essential instance of striking allure and there you have it. I pride myself in painting something that anyone can see themselves if they hang around: no exaggerations, no symbolism, and no implied metaphor."

Bruce said he is approaching this show with a focus on different palettes and subject matter ranging from the big landscapes of our Moab area and intimate close ups of such things as the Iris pictured below. He is an avid learner as he tackles the different subject matter and studies the local color. His attention to detail and his color is something you will want to see in person!
Unfortunately for us, Bruce will be heading to the Grand Canyon for the Plein Air Invitational during our reception and Art walk. Please come on out to see his work and that of our other artists.
