The seventeen paintings included in LIBERATION explore personal yearning for spiritual and individual independence using various motifs and subject matter. The artworks challenge the viewer to connect with images that correspond to their own yearning for personal freedom. The viewer will recognize references to mythology, literature, and folklore, as well as archetypal reflections of Jungian Psychology representing male and female sexuality. These themes and references, combined with Bruno’s extraordinary technical expertise, create a not-to-be-missed exhibition.

He has exhibited his work at: The Arkansas Art Center, Loyola University, The Fort Wayne Museum of Art, University of St. Francis School of Creative Arts, The Chicago Cultural Center, The Frye Art Museum, Seattle, The Mobile Museum of Art, Alabama, The University of Wisconsin.
