RICHARD BRUCE   Images   Bio   Statement  Press     The atmospheric paintings of Richard Bruce immediately transport the viewer into a dreamlike landscape while also mimicking the stabilizing force of the horizon. 'That thin place where the earth becomes the sky' - described in the Gaelic tradition as Coal áit - informs Bruce's art ascribing to it a transcendental place that is at once familiar and yet unknowable. Bruce's abstracted works might conjure images of the Hudson River School - perhaps not surprisingly since the artist lives in the region north of New York City and near to the Hudson. With a more subdued palette, Bruce's works are nonetheless reminiscent of Color Field painters such as Mark Rothko, both in their ability to envelop us and in their spiritual sensibility.               Point of Departure acrylic on birch panel, 24 x 24 inches, 2007                 Where the Sea Meets the Sky acrylic on birch panel, 24 x 24 inches, 2007                   The Narrow Bridge acrylic on birch panel, 24 x 24 inches, 2005                 Land acrylic on birch panel, 32 x 32 inches, 2004
