Calling You by Bruce McLachlan - ArtsPost Exhibition

Calling You

Bruce McLachlan

“This body of work is a collection of my thoughts and feelings that have been transformed into these images you see today. Through this eclectic mix I celebrate nature and life at its most wondrous. Creating pockets of memories – ‘Lest we Forget’.”
ARTIST STATEMENT
Bruce McLachalan’s passion for art began at a young age. Born and bred in the Waikato, Bruce didn’t begin his formal career until 2003, upon the death of his mother. It is his technical skill and diversity that has gained him recognition. While one canvas can depict the rolling waves of a New Zealand beach, the next a photorealistic portrait of a rock and roll legend, each a colourful addition to this artist’s extensive and diverse portfolio. Bruce is always exploring new techniques and mediums; however it is the precision and details he accomplishes with acrylic paint that he is best known for, especially evident in his portrait work. Bruce draw much of his inspiration from the relationships he develops throughout his life, whether it is about one of his children or a complete stranger, he is captivated by each person’s unique character and expression.

Calling You is open at ArtsPost Gallery until April 26th.
