Bruce Tamberelli
Is an Oakland based multi-media artist with 27 years of experience, he has traveled the world extensively documenting his unique perspective. His mediums include; photography, gouache and oil, and more.
Bruce received his initial training in photography in the late 1970s. During the 1980s he lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, documenting the gentrification of the area. That work is now part of the collection of the Hoboken Historical Museum. It was during that period that Bruce started to explore mixed media, using manipulated Polaroid’s and acrylic paints. In the early 1990s oil paints came into his art fold and he has been painting ever since. /p>
The primary basis of his paintings lies in the imagination. Some possibly buried in the unconscious imagery, others not. He sees his work as non-traditional landscapes incorporating familiar subjects, world events and his own daily life. Looking to express emotions, thoughts and sometimes humor in a condensed, yet intriguing manner Bruce draws in the viewer. In the past 18 months, he has made close to 500 paintings and recently been doing photography again.
In the late 1990’s, he had a life changing experience while sharing his passion for art and creation with mentally challenged adults. Teaching at Options, in Kentucky, proved to be one of the most inspirational experiences of his life.
In ‘unassuming anarchy’ he challenges his audience to view compilations of small paintings joined as one large image. Each painting represents one second in time, moving to the next second, it’s any time, anywhere, you decide. Each painting is a new experience, titles, relationships, ideas and insights all intermingled into the various combinations………of unassuming anarchy.
