| Richard Bruland's work is highly technical on one level and basically simple and aggressive on another. While the work appears to have been done through laborious "noodling" it is actually created through multiple acts of highly controlled spontaneity. The soft color transitions and abrupt edges result from sophisticated and very detailed "overworking" of the surface through a process of layering, sanding and over-painting. The results are superb reinterpretations and subtle miniaturizations of the work of the early abstract expressionists, especially Pollock. |
