Bruce Earles (1953–2023) exhibited widely across Australia and internationally from the 1970s. He earned a Pollock-Krasner Award in 2000 and a Doctor of Creative Art from the University of Western Sydney in 2001. His work explores themes of humanity’s relationship with the environment, urban life, and the balance between industry and leisure. Earles' vibrant landscapes feature powerful city structures and the ocean, with humans, animals, and nature interwoven. His use of color and texture creates dynamic, expressive images that extend beyond the canvas, focusing on interpretation rather than analytical representation.
