Whether exploring geometric shapes, portraying the human form, or interpreting lush landscapes, Bruce Marion's lyrical coloration and dramatic use of light and shadow, characterized by his distinctive "inner glow," seem to illuminate his subjects from their souls.
"I believe we're all on a path or journey, whether to a physical, spiritual, or emotional place. My paintings depict these paths, delving into the interior realms of emotions, fears, and passions, and exploring the exterior realm through the filtered vision of memory." In his abstract work, he's exploring those inner landscapes: "I see life as very cyclical in nature; my relationships, personal growth, and patterns of existence all seem in continual rotation through my days and deliberations." The circle serves as metaphor for these cycles.
