Gina Bruce
Resume
Sydney-based artist Gina Bruce works with a variety of media to create the haunting and ethereal images she has become known for. Gina spends time evolving her artworks. She uses observational drawings, shadow and colour studies and line sketches to prepare her compositions ahead of time. When she approaches her canvas, however, it is quickly and decisively. Her marks are bold and purposeful, yet the overall effect is elegantly subtle. Gina often makes images of places she remembers well, layering additional images on top of each other. She is particularly interested in bushland, the coastline the changing Australian landscape, the built up environment, and the figures within those landscapes. Gina has shown in many art prize exhibitions including the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize and the Sulman Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW, for which she was Highly Commended. She was also the winner of the Waverley Art Prize in 2011. Gina exhibits regularly at Robin Gibson Gallery in Sydney.
Gina is a tutor at the National Art School, Darlinghurst and privately her studio.
