Bruce Leslie Thomas Presents Interpretive Reality at Agora Gallery
Bruce Leslie Thomas is a contemporary artist who considers strength of drawing and composition to be the foundation of all his work.

NEW YORK, NY, June 08, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature Canadian artist, Bruce Leslie Thomas, in Portals of Perception. The exhibition is scheduled to run from June 30, 2011 through July 21, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, July 07, 2011).

About the Artist
Canadian artist Bruce Leslie Thomas brings his unique interpretation to a variety of themes, ranging from landscape to figurative and aviation subjects. Landscapes are inspired by his visually dramatic surroundings of northern Ontario and British Columbia, while his figurative images are drawn from lifelong research into our historical and social past. To stay true to his subjects, Thomas wields a variety of mediums, from oil and watercolor, to pen and ink, to Conte and gouache, to create a diversity of styles and forms. What results are careful explorations that offer the viewer new perspectives on specific moments in time and place. In the end, Thomas intends for his work "to enable the viewer to see with greater clarity and subsequently draw attention to details that are often overlooked." Whether those details are situated in landscapes both foreign and familiar or in the unfolding themes of our social history, Thomas has much to teach us about the world we inhabit.

Bruce Leslie Thomas currently lives and works in Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
