Biography
Bruce Bates grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida, and currently resides in Tallahassee, Florida. Since early childhood Bruce has had a passion for drawing and painting, and has always enjoyed sketching and painting the people and places around him. His favorite mediums are oils, acrylics, and charcoal, but he continues to experiment with new materials and techniques. He uses a number of unique methods in the creation of his artwork that he has personally developed over the years through experimentation. Bruce has exhibited at the Norton Art Gallery in West Palm Beach; The Flagler Museum in Flagler Beach; The Artist's Gallery in Bunnell; The Saint Augustine Art Association in St. Augustine; and the 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, Florida. Bruce holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with Honors from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
