SUMMARY:The Landscape of Guitar: Paintings by Bruce Hecksel
DESCRIPTION:The Landscape of Guitar: Paintings by Bruce Hecksel\nOpening Reception\nSunday / September 21 / 1:00PM – 4:00PM\nExhibit Dates: September 21 – October 18\, 2025\nTerra Guitarra® (Landscape of Guitar) is the original painting style of Bruce Hecksel. Bruce’s stained-glass like vibrant\, highly textured style is acrylic paint on canvas & board using a combination of dry brushing\, stippling\, impasto\, smudging among other techniques. \n“Composing paintings with guitar trees\, mountains\, rivers\, lakes\, clouds\, birds\, I’m suggesting that all of our reality has a voice. The whole world is literally singing. Once we realize this we then choose to sing in harmony with it or make up our own song.” \nBruce Hecksel was a professional guitarist that performed over 5\,000 concerts in his duo Patchouli & Terra Guitarra. Bruce passed away peacefully July 28\, 2025 from stroke complications after a 3 year battle with cancer. He was always generous with his joy and light and you can see and feel that in each of these featured Landscape of Guitar paintings in this special posthumous exhibit. \nIn place of an artist’s talk\, Bruce’s beloved partner Julie Patchouli will share a few words in his memory and present the animation of The Landscape of Guitar.
