Like what you hear? Get to know Gordon Bruce!

4 I have always been interested in art from an early age. I studied painting at Robert Gordon’s University in Aberdeen. I have been painting for over 20 years. 

7 When I started painting in 2003, I painted traditional landscapes in watercolour. I did that for a few years until I moved on to oil painting. I painted abstract paintings for a while and then went back to painting more traditional Scottish landscapes and animals. I live close to the countryside so I like to paint cows and sheep and often include them in my landscapes. Lately I have been painting scenes from famous stories such as Peter Pan, a Christmas Carol and the Little Prince. 

10 I wanted to paint something a bit different so I painted some famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum and the statue of Liberty and incorporated my animals in them.

Ps. Why not keep an eye on our events calendar as well

Gordon Bruce is an artist from Aberdeen who specializes in oil paintings and watercolours.

The artist studied Fine Art at Gray’s School of Art, part of Robert Gordon University.

Colour is a very important element in Bruce’s work, the artist uses boldly contrasting colours to capture light and darkness in the scenes he paints.

Gordon Bruce’s paintings are figurative, both in terms of their avoidance of abstraction also by, more often than not, containing the human figure.

The figures in Bruce’s paintings form the focal point in much of his work.

The artist himself admits that ‘I have always been interested in buildings and the lives people live within them’.

Though heavily focused on the human figure, Bruce also creates paintings of sheep and cows, as well as purely landscape-based paintings.

Gordon Bruce lives between Aberdeen and Barcelona where he finds much inspiration for the images he creates.

PopUp Painting is a big fan of Gordon Bruce’s work and is always holding events where you can have a go at painting one of his wonderful works!
