DAVID BROMLEY

If the paintings of David Bromley do not quite nestle into the sonorous decor of the Parisian Nabis of a century ago, they do propose a point of divergence from neo-impressionism at which Matisse and Kirchner camped to water their horses. The effects of light, in Bromley's eye, are not to he copied but expressed in color and color, itself, never straying too far from the nucleus of its energy; is angled and tilted to express space with an urgency that delegates even proportion and perspective to secondary status. Bromley received his MFA in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, where he currently instructs. His paintings, one corner of a triad of photography and cartooning, have been exhibited in Virginia at the 1708 Gallery, Anderson Gallery, Clark-Pollock Gallery, Charles H. Taylor Art Center and Artspace. In New York City; his work has appeared at the Agora Gallery and the Banco Popular.
