Bruce Earles, a Melbourne-born artist whose work captivated audiences for over three decades, passed away in 2023, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy. From his formative years at the ROAR Studios in Fitzroy to receiving the prestigious Pollock Krasner Award in New York in 2000, Earles’ journey was marked by a bold, expressive style that blended urban landscapes with whimsical characters and vibrant colours.
Known for his unique ability to balance life’s contrasts, Earles painted with the belief that work and play, like the natural and man-made worlds, can coexist harmoniously. His iconic pieces, often featuring quirky animals and bustling cityscapes, invite viewers to reflect on the complex yet joyful interplay of life.
With a Doctorate in Creative Arts from the University of Western Sydney, Earles refined his craft through years of dedication, culminating in a style that was distinctly his own. His use of thick impasto oils and vibrant, carefully placed motifs speaks to his belief that, like life itself, every element—whether in art or in our daily experiences—has its place.
Although Bruce Earles is no longer with us, his work continues to inspire and remind us of the importance of balance, fun, and the connections that make life rich and meaningful.
