BRUCE DOCKER PAINTINGS: HEAVEN'S ASPECT

HEAVEN'S ASPECT - ALTIN'S PROVINCIAL

TOPOGRAPHICAL DEPICTIONS

CANADA

I've always been fascinated by maps, charts, views from airplanes,

balloons and satellite images. I've often thought maps were beautiful

and an art of their own. Here I have a series of drawings and

paintings inspired by satellite images, specifically,

and topographical maps as well. They are intriguingly

realistic and abstract at the same time.

How I am, the way I am.

I come from a long line of artists. My father drew the original series of cigarette smoking woodpeckers used in all traditional tattoo shops today. My maternal grandmother was a professional artist who could paint the highlights of a vase with the devastation of a paper cut to the eye. And of course my grandfather was the infamous paint-by-numbers artist and rum runner of Kansas City in the 1940’s. I have tried to combine all I learned from them into a cohesively rambling style.

My formal training includes years of study with the Canadian art God, John Nagy, developer of the audacious Learn to Draw Kit. We met every Tuesday afternoon at 3:30.

Believing in total respect for my materials I once used an entire box of Crayola 64’s without breaking a single crayon, I covered my driveway in Scotch tape to protect my sidewalk chalk drawings from the rain, and the cloth of my canvas is made only from the wool of free range sheep.
