High passion for art became the main drive for a 12-country world tour in 1998 taking in all the major European galleries. Nature and the people he observed and met in his travels provided him with ideas and artistic stimulation.
On his distinctive Euro/Polynesian figurative style, Bryce says “I like to explore human nature and movement through my paintings. I use strong line, texture and colour to accentuate human form and emotion. I have my favourite artists and although they definitely have had an influence on me, I feel I have taken just enough from history to add to the style I have now. Whilst it is hard not to be influenced by the likes of Picasso and Leonardo, an artist needs to find what it is about these greats that they love and pursue their own style with the same amount of passion as they did.”
His work is in private collections in New Zealand and across Europe and the USA including the John Deere art collection in Moline, Illinois. He is represented by New Zealand and US galleries.
