Bruce Marion

Wednesday, 9/10/25 from 5:30pm-7pm

What happens when an artist creates unbound by expectations? Contemporary Impressionist Bruce Marion Returns to Madaras Gallery with a bold new series celebrating artistic freedom.


Known for his dramatic use of light, vibrant color, and experimental techniques—often using unconventional tools like drywall scrapers and squirt bottles—Marion pushes his craft even further in this luminous new series. Guests will have the rare opportunity to meet Bruce Marion in person, explore the evolution of his vision, and dive deeper into his expressive techniques.
